</div>Well, that explains it. :) I think you mistyped the ln command because<br>
the "archives" directory is gone and there is no link with that name. It<br>
would also match the error message. The directory<br>
"/var/cache/apt/archives/partial" is indeed missing because the parent<br>
directory is missing as well and the file "/var/cache/apt/archives/lock"<br>
can't be opened because there is no directory for it. I Think it would<br>
be sufficient to run the ln command again:<br>
<div><br>
sudo ln -s /home/archives /var/cache/apt/<br>
<br>
<br>
