I am out of ideas, perhaps visit us on irc, I have to leave for work

It seems that your nearest servers are in germany, so try

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

for your debian.list as single and only entry and

deb http://packages.siduction.org/base unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://packages.siduction.org/extra unstable main contrib non-free

for your siduction.list

remove all other .list-files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d and check twice that there is no /etc/apt/sources.list

then "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" Will this solve your problem?

If the main "root" cause is just a too full partition, ncdu is my tool of choice..  It has no dependencies on apt to the best of my knowledge and I use it to prune things like gnucash-doc out of /var/cache. My / is woefully small at 10 Gb.   


"Vacuum cleaning" of via journalctl is also a fast way to free up space out of /var/log.

"remove all other .list-files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d and check twice that there is no /etc/apt/sources.list

unfortunately not, neither with without kdenetxt entry nor with.

You wrote that you get some error-messages by following what piper wrote in this post but you don't gave us this error-messages. Maybe it give us a hint.

[eQuacky]

It was the same error as in my thread-start.
Last order with "apt-cache gencaches" I didn't have to do cause those bin-files had been regenerated.

@ayla and jure
thanks but didn't help either this hint with texlive.

But I remembered piper's advice to update apt and apt-utils manually what I did again. And a third package was upgraded named libaptpkg5.0. Anyway that combination made the deal. All of them now in version 1.1.10 and I could carry out the whole d-u.

Many thanks to all involved, especially piper and jure for endless efforts.

congratulation !!   ☑

Glad you got it solved

I actually had the same issue, but, only building siduction, it didn't effect a normal du, why I was pulling what hair I have left when what I posted above didn't work for you.

Odd that libaptpkg5.0 didn't upgrade the first time round

[eQuacky]

thanks folks for congrats!

Piper, I am quite sure this lipaptpkg5.0 wasn't within the packages to be du'ed. Just apt and apt-utils. But it worked for me and hopefully for all others with same/similar probem(s).
Thanks again!
