Comment 26 for bug 159721

There are so many packages which is actually not broken on the /var/cache, maybe this'll help.
rename the % to something else, then burn it with aptoncd and do not check the "Create meta packages" box. Anyway, better not include the packages on /var/cache.

yup, I know it is crazy to rename all of it one by one, so, either use bulk renamer program such as gprename to remove the %, or use the real_man style.

Copy the *.debs on archives to home, then on the terminal (got this bulk_renamer enlighment from P.Y.A.P :" ) :

$ for i in *; do mv $i ${i/'%'/'_'}; done

Ex (I use a file named rei%ayanami on rei folder. Dump all the debs is not so nice looking :P )

blaxnux@melchior ~/rei $ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
blaxnux@melchior ~/rei $ ls
rei%ayanami
blaxnux@melchior ~/rei $ for i in *; do mv $i ${i/'%'/'_'}; done
rei_ayanami

anyway, {i/'%'/'_'} means Change "%" with "_"

Hope it works. :)
