I'm getting this error when I try to run Synaptic
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit. Current value: 20000000. (man 5 apt.conf)
E: Error occurred while processing xorg (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Plus this error when I try apt-get update:

E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Start>Gexec
Type in
check the box to run as root.
edit in/etc/apt/apt.conf
from
APT::Cache-Limit 20000000
to
APT::Cache-Limit 60000000 (at least that is what I did). Close and save document.
For everything else. Open terminal
enter password
Hit enter. When done. Close terminal. Then you can go and start installing stuff in synaptic or terminal. Whichever you prefer. Hopefully you won't get any errors.
Post back on any errors if you do get any after this. A
readout from terminal would be nice in next post also.

Thanks, setting to 60000000 worked.
