Hi there,

I have been playing with MPIO on one of my Proxmox test hosts and have hit a problem with aptitude.

Whenever I run "aptitude update" (or any kind of apt-get) I get the following:

ess-prox-003:~# aptitude update
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
W: Could not lock the cache file; this usually means that dpkg or another apt tool is already installing packages. Opening in read-only mode; any changes you make to the states of packages will NOT be preserved!

I have rebooted several times but this error remains.

Any ideas?

Chris.
 
If I do "dpkg --configure -a" I get the following:

ess-prox-003:~# dpkg --configure -a

update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
