it just went away. i did a reboot and then tried again an update & upgrade and it worked.


RE: dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting - mk01 - 28th Apr, 2013 01:53 AM

still, such a errors (specially after they "go away") with reboot are saying, that something is bad. filesystem/memory(due to OC)/or similar.


RE: dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting - CurlyMo - 28th Apr, 2013 02:11 AM

No, this is an error of the raspbian repository. Nothing to do with us of the user hardware.


RE: dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting - mk01 - 28th Apr, 2013 02:22 AM

but then reboot can not solve the issue


RE: dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting - CurlyMo - 28th Apr, 2013 02:25 AM

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 ;-)
