root@dean-laptop:/# apt-get install netselect
Reading package lists… Done
Segmentation faulty tree… 0%

I’ve done some GOOGLING and it seems this bug has been seen before,
but no intelligent handling has been added to apt. See bug Bug#84277

This has always been traced back to file corruption in /var/cache/apt/*.bin

If you can erase those files and run the apt command and have it work then
that is definately the problem.

Nobody has ever been able to reproduce it, unless they have buggy hardware

Jason

So I suspect corrupted data files. delete /var/cache/apt/*.bin followed by “apt-get update” to reset apt.Which indeed fixed this error condition.

but that’s very strange,My Laptop does not not have buggy hardware, apt-get has been working fine from the start.

Before you begin, you will need to get a kernel
Download the 2.6.17 kernel and it’s performance patch: The 2.6.17 kernel
Latest Kernel Patch

1. Install needed utilities to configure the kernel
sudo apt-get install build-essential bin86 kernel-package libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev
2. Now we are going to move the kernel and unpack it.
sudo cp linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2 /usr/src
3. Now we are going to move to /usr/src
cd /usr/src
4. Now unpack it:
sudo tar -xvjf linux-2.6.17.tar.bz2
5. Rename the folder:
sudo mv linux-2.6.17/ linux-2.6.17ck1
6. Now we are going to remove the link to the linux directory:
sudo rm -rf linux
7. Make a new link to the new kernel:
sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.17ck1 linux
8. Move to the Linux directory:
cd /usr/src/linux
9. Make yourself root:
sudo -s -H
10. Apply the performance patch:
bzcat /home/$USER/patch-2.6.17-ck1.bz2| patch -p1
11. Now we are going to import your current kernel configuration:
uname -r
12. Now import it: Make sure to replace the kernel version in this following command from the one from uname -r.
sudo cp /boot/config-2.6.14-ck1 .config
or you can download my .config file,full optmized for IBM T43

13.Configure the kernel:
make xconfig
14. Let’s build the kernel: Make sure that you are in /usr/src/linux with full root access. Make sure that you are. This will build a debian file that you can install.

Now, in terminal do the following:
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg -initrd –revision=IBM+T43 kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image
Note: You can replace “IBM+T43″ with anything you want.

15. Install the .deb fine in /usr/src. In terminal do
sudo dpkg -i
Now reboot and you will have a much faster system !

16. Setup the HDAPS (IBM Hard Drive Active Protection System)

HDAPS is already included in kernel 2.6.14 and later,but not loaded by default.in terminal do the following:

sudo modprobe hdaps
sudo echo hdaps >> /etc/modules
sudo reboot

the hdaps is working now,if you having problems,check dmesg :

sudo dmesg |grep hdaps
hdaps: IBM ThinkPad T43 detected.
hdaps: initial latch check good (0×01).
hdaps: device successfully initialized.
input: hdaps as /class/input/input3
hdaps: driver successfully loaded.

17.install the monitor for hdaps
download gnome-tilt at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=138242
in terminal do the following:
sh ./configure
make install

and add the tilt to System->Preference->Sessions->Startup Programs。

16. Colorzing the prompt
This step is very simple. And can be endlessly customized if you so feel.
Code:

cp ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc_bak
gedit ~/.bashrc

Look for the following:
Code:

# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we “want” color)
case “$TERM” in
xterm-color)
PS1=’${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ‘
;;
*)
PS1=’${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ‘
;;
esac

# Comment in the above and uncomment this below for a color prompt
PS1=’${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ‘

and replace it with:
Code:

# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we “want” color)
#case “$TERM” in
#xterm-color)
# PS1=’${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ‘
# ;;
#*)
# PS1=’${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ‘
# ;;
#esac

# Comment in the above and uncomment this below for a color prompt
PS1=’${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ‘

sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org*
sudo reboot
sudo apt-get install openoffice.org2

然后运行openoffice，一切正常。可能真的是RP问题:S
