...making Linux just a little more fun!

Hi all,
Greetings!
I am using Ubuntu 8.10. I am facing strange issues on my installation. I cannot install any package from the repo:
sudo apt-get install tar [sudo] password for amit: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Suggested packages: ncompress The following NEW packages will be installed: tar 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 98 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/338kB of archives. After this operation, 2298kB of additional disk space will be used. dpkg-deb (subprocess): failed to exec tar: No such file or directory dpkg-deb: subprocess tar returned error exit status 2 dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tar_1.20-1_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/tar_1.20-1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This is what happens.
What might have probably caused this is that I removed 'nautilus' and put on 'Dolphin' file manager. I am not sure.
Any thoughts how can I fix this?
Much appreciated.
Thanks, Amit

Nicely done, Thomas!
Obviously I've never used any version of Informix; so I'm not sure
how much help I'll be in any event. However, I am a semi-intelligent
interface to search engines; so here's some results from my online
burrowing.
