apt problems

Trying to use apt-get to install netatalk, I get the following:

Code:

G3&#58;/var/log# apt-get install netatalk
Reading Package Lists... Error!
E&#58; Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E&#58; Error occured while processing python2.2-libxml2 &#40;NewVersion1&#41;
E&#58; Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-powerpc_Packages
E&#58; The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

This all started right after I ran apt-setup to have it look at http sources (it worked fine using just the CDROMs). Easy fix for this?

Thankin' ya...

it is because you are not allowing enough cache for apt. Try adding

Code:

APT&#58;&#58;Cache-Limit "8388608";

to

Code:

/etc/apt/apt.conf

or make your /etc/apt/sources.list smaller

I don't have a /etc/apt/apt.conf file. Is it okay to create one?

try /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/xxx (obviously replace xxx)

That did the trick, thank you very much!
