to the best of my memory from the error messages recieved a few lines before the message telling me to apt-get apt-get mention another partition, not the one studio ubuntu is installed on, and how it's not run a scandisk for 60something days and will force scandisk, every time, and some other error message after that, i forget what.. then along comes the apt-get apt-get message, then it tells me to do control-D, which does nothing, but crt alt del brings me neatly out of that situation to the login screen.
<br><br>this still happens even after installing aptitude. next time in studioubuntu i shall try wget apt-get since aptitude install apt-get seems to nothing to solve this booting hiccough, and havnt gotten around to sussing out dpkg yet, which is next on the list after this wget.
<br>... how many other ways are there?!<br>there's nothing really stopping me from installing any package manager is there.... or does it not work like that?<br><br>... and people complained about rpm and dependance hell! ha! this seems way worse. at least in "dependency hell" i was in a gui that told me everything i needed to know, what to get and just a clickyclick to install it once got. still, nice to know there's a dozen ways to get around it. even if it does require a team of comunity support. lol.
