Problem with removing a package
I did the mistake to download and try to install an RPM file...I converted it to deb with alien and tried to install it.But smth went wrong and when I open Synaptic I receive the following message
E: The package cinelerra needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report. The problem is that after this message pops up I cant have access to any of my packages via Synaptic.I also can't update my system.I tried to use sudo apt-get remove--force-yes "package name" but I receive the message Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done E: The package cinelerra needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. What can I do?Please try to explain with details cause I pretty much a noob.... |
Since you used alien to change rpm into debian package, you have to use command line to uninstall the package instead.
#dpkg -r name.deb |
Nothing..... again it says
E: The package cinelerra needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it Any other suggestions? |
At a console, type sudo updatedb, when its done, type, whereis cinelerra or if that doesn't show anything, type locate cinelerra.
That may find something |
