Problem with Update Manager


Hi all,

I tried to install Vmware via Automatix and it failed... Now everytime I run update manager, it tries to install Vmware again and fails all the time... How do I remove it from the update manager so that it doesnt try to install it every time I run update manager ??

Thanks

Uninstall Automatix utterly from your system.

Using Automatix is both dangerous and unbalanced. The official community doesnt support it. Ubuntu itself , and Canonical the company that runs ubuntu, wont support it either. For issues reguarding why this is the case, run over to this link -- http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html.

You should be able to get synaptic to remove it.
