When i do an apt-get update and a apt-get upgrade on my debian sarge system i receive this error: dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `Debian-exim' in statusoverride file E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) What does this mean? Who knows?

Type your root password. Hit enter. Type: yum -y install apt Hit enter. Wait for the installation to complete. Type: yum -y install synaptic Hit enter. Wait for the installation to complete. Type: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dag.list Hit enter and gedit will open. If there is nothing in this file (blank page), type the following in gedit: # Name: Dag RPM Repository # URL: http://dag.wieers.com/apt/ ### Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core rpm http://apt.sw.be fedora/4/en/i386 dag Be sure there is a carriage return (blank line) at the bottom of the file.
