Not what I wanted to hear, lol= =2E

after a bit of digging it looks like apk fails to read scripts= =2Etar=2E
Removing the offending entry mentioned by strace, the first en= try, makes it complain about the next entry
Renaming lets me "apk update= " again, but apk throws "error: unabe to select packages", which makes sens= e=2E

from the looks of it, there is nothing strange about the conten= ts of scripts=2Etar=2E
Is there any way to learn why and on what it trip= s?

As for the cause, an empty battery in my laptop during an update= =2E
One of these I-m-sure-it's-plugged-in moments=2E=2E=2E

Thanks= for the help,
Arjan

Is t=

Generally only by reinstalling the system=2E Any idea how = it went to this
state? Maybe its possible to fix it manually=2E

T= imo
