dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
unable to open files list file for package `fontconfig-config': Input/output error
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
Searching the forum for these error's. They have been discussed numbers of times.
I'm sorry, but I can't find any post that helps me...
it just went away. i did a reboot and then tried again an update & upgrade and it worked.
still, such a errors (specially after they "go away") with reboot are saying, that something is bad. filesystem/memory(due to OC)/or similar.
No, this is an error of the raspbian repository. Nothing to do with us of the user hardware.
but then reboot can not solve the issue
The reboot didn't solve the issue, but the time between the two pollings of the apt repo. If you do an apt-get update while raspbian is also updating their repo, you get errors. If you wait a 15 minutes, then it will work again.
I believe you ;-)
