Err:The package is broken.

Avast! Updating worked fine last night but as of today I get this error every time. When I booted up Avast.Setup didn’t run to my knowledge (it usually does) and manual updating gets me this error. Its possibly unrelated but yesterday I installed the 4-14-09 windows updates and after rebooting a 9th svchost.exe was running opposed to 8 in the past.

Not sure what’s going on, any help would be appreciated.

The total numbers of svchost.exe running is variable, since it is the messenger not the sender so to speak. It is the Host for various Services hence the name SvcHost services host.

Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.

Error processing packages.
Please use full update.

Try updating via that menu too with no luck :confused:

Can you try to repair your installation?
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast! antivirus > Remove. Then choose Repair function in the popup window (Repair).
If this does not help, can you uninstall / boot / install / boot again?

As I said in my above post, no luck repairing. Any idea what could’ve caused this?

If I reinstall Avast! entirely I’ll have to do it later tonight, have to drive across the state for 2 1/2 hours soon.

Please, post the last 300-350 lines of avast log: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log\Setup.log

How no luck, exactly what happened, e.g. Were you even able to get to the Repair option in add remove programs ?
Or if so presumable after using the Repair option it still doesn’t work ?

If so then it would probably be best to do a clean reinstall:
Download the latest version of avast http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again. Use that when you reinstall.

Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, find it here and save it to your HDD.

    1. Now uninstall (using add remove programs, if you can’t do that start from the next step), reboot.- 2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility, reboot. If step 1 failed it may be necessary to run this from safe mode, once complete reboot into normal mode.- 3. install the latest version, reboot.

I get an error saying “Error Processing Packages. Please use Full Update.” when I try to repair.

Can you try an installation from the scratch?

  1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
  2. Boot.
  3. Download the latest version of Avast Uninstall and use it for complete uninstallation.
  4. Boot.
  5. Install again the latest avast! version.
  6. Boot.
  7. Check and post the results.
The package is broken

Seems something related to download problems, but I’m not sure.

Did all of that and now it seems to be fine so far (updating works). Any idea of what could’ve caused this?

Difficult to say and troubleshoot… but glad everything is fine now.
