Hi, I haven't been able to install any packages for over a month now. <br>The situation is beyond urgent, and quite ridiculous since I can't<br>continue any of my work. <br><br>The system kept saying that the file containing list of files for libtheora0 and <br>
libtracker-gtk0 were missing every time I run apt-get. I fixed that by getting the same from <br>elsewhere. Now when I tried re-installing dpkg itself, it says: <br><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `libtiff4' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.</span><br style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">

<br>Kindly propose me a solution that will work. I'm not very experienced in Linux,<br>but I can follow clearly written instructions. <br><br>yours,<br>-- fadereu<br>------- -.-<br>1/f ))) --.<br>------- ...<br>
