×I got this error when I installed chef-server on a 1GB server and it was eating up all of the memory on the box, leaving nothing for apt-get to work with. After I removed chef, all was well again. Chef starts up its own copy of nginx, and postresql, so it’s a huge memory hog.
It’s dated, but I spent about 30 minutes with this same problem. When I read this comment, it occured to me to check my mem-usage and low-and-behold, saturated. Doing some house cleaning fixed it. Just in case any body in the future comes across this problem.
I just got this error after trying to install mongdb.
Any luck?
This is fixed for me now.
I removed the file I created in the mongo installation process, ran
apt-get clean
, thenrm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
to remove the package list files. After that,sudo reboot
to restart the server.
