Re: application manager error. dpkg reported error while processing package.
 

Well, I forgot to add: you need to manually connect to Internet first (as most terminal commands are "stupid" and they cannot connect to Internet). If you are connected to Internet, maybe you made a typo?

Re: application manager error. dpkg reported error while processing package.
 

wget http://www.miskiewicz.org/files/avahi-daemon

you forgot "http" before "://" or, if it cannot accept that, just write wget www.miskiewicz.org/files/avahi-daemon (without "http://" at the beginning)

hey sorry ok i got it right but now it says length 2594 (2.5k) {text/plain}
avahi-daemon has sprung into existence.
retrying.

its doing it again n again.retrying again n again. what should i do?

Re: application manager error. dpkg reported error while processing package.
 

Well, if it tries to download it again and again, you can just hit crtl+c on your keyboard to stop wget from running. Then you can type "ls -l avahi-daemon" to see if it shows "-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 2594 Mar 24 2009 avahi-daemon" or something similar. If yes, you can type the "chmod 755 avahi-daemon" command. If it says "No such file or directory" then we will investigate further...

Re: application manager error. dpkg reported error while processing package.
 

Well, nice shot, they are lowercase "L" ;) "LS -L AVAHI-DAEMON", but all lowercase.

Re: application manager error. dpkg reported error while processing package.
 

ok it says 21 may 9 03:46 avahi-daemon /lib/init/upstart-job
i then wrote chmod 755 avahi-daemon.
it said:
chmod: avahi-daemon: no such file or directory

Re: application manager error. dpkg reported error while processing package.
 

ehh ok, forget that, something went wrong...
Try this instead (all letters lowercase, wach out for typos!):
That's the easiest way to repair your problem, but I tried earlier to help you more (too much I guess :P)

Re: application manager error. dpkg reported error while processing package.
