Is there anyway I can remove this deb thanks for the help. I need to remove this to install par2.

Edit:Cant update or install anything with apt-get either till i get this fixed. please help if you can.

Just simply try removing via apt-get

Edit: Did a google search and found this at http://forum.freespire.org/archive/i...hp/t-3429.html.

Ok, it's fixed. I talked to JDoyle on the IRC channel and he told me to look in /var/lib/dpkg/status and remove all gpar2 entries. then do a dpkg --purge gpar2. All is well now.

Thanks for the help guys.
