[SOLVED] apt-daemon not working in Ubuntu

What are reverse dependencies?

evo2 · 06-10-2012, 07:14 PM

If Y depends on X, then:
- X is a dependency of Y
- Y is a reverse dependency X

Thanx for you reply,

After reading your post, I ran this command:

Code:

sudo dpkg --purge openoffice*.*

.

OOo got removed. I had got this as the output:

Code:

After that I ran,

Code:

sudo apt-get update

.

But no, again when I am going to install/remove something through apt-get install, I get the same error:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done

E: The package ooobasis3.4-core04 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

My OOo has got removed.

Hi,

in principle it should be reinstalled (as the error states), but since you don't seem to have access to the package file any more you should be able to force remove it with:

Code:

dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq ooobasis3.4-core04\

Done it! Done it!

I did what you said and the ooocore*** package got removed. After that, when I tried to install another package, I got this error:

Code:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 ooobasis3.4-core01 : Depends: openoffice.org-ure but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

So I tried

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install

. And then my problem got solved.

I would like to thank not only evo2 for his constant support but also other members for their attempts to solve my problem. I have been instructed from the scratch, so I didn't face any difficulties is carrying out what you all said.
