I tried to install TeXmacs today by follow commond:
sudo apt-get install texmacs
but those message come up:
Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ...
dpkg: warning: files list file for package `diff' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
(Reading database ... 212095 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace diff 1:2.8.1-18 (using .../diff_1%3a2.8.1-18_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement diff ...
I have no idea why my computer stop at here.
I try to install other software but same message will come. How to solve it?
Then I type following:
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/diff_1%3a2.8.1-18_all.deb /var/tmp sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get install texmacs
