APT sekaisin?

[Erkkimon]

Enpä ole koskaan saanut APT:ta sekaisin. Mm. portage on joskus mennyt paskaksi, mutta se taas on ollut helppo korjata käsin, koska sen rakenteeseen pääsee helpommin sisään. Mulla tais nyt apt mennä särki, enkä oikein tiedä, miten korjaisin sen. Eli ensin yritin asentaa gpartedin, joka ei suostunut yhteistyöhön. Sitten yritin asentaa qtpartedin, joka ei suostu asentumaan rikkinäisen gpartedin asennuksen takia. Gpartedia puolestaan en saa koneesta pois, koska APT ei suostu poistamaan sitä, koska rikkinäinen gparted on järjestelmässä. Pastean vähän tulostetta:

Mihinkäs sormi nyt laitetaan?

sudo apt-get clean komennolla aloitetaan, hyvinkin mahdollista, että tuossa gpartedin paketissa on jokin esim. siirrosta johtuva virhe, joka saa dpkg:n sekoilemaan.
Siinä dpkg näkyy ilmoittelevan, että kannattaisi koittaa paketin uudelleen asennusta ennen sen poistoa, elikkä

Koodia: [Valitse]

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gparted
