i've just migrated my desktop machine to Ubuntu 10.04. My problem is that i've purged a package and can't install this package back. Because I can't see it in the aptitude or apt-get's package list. I think I have play with some configurations. How can i fix this issue?
Edit: The problematic packages are sun-java6* . I installed sun-java6-jdk from oracle's web page and installed other ones using APT.
I added a third-party repository and installed a package (that is not in the official repos).After some minutes I decided to uninstall the package (apt-get remove package), remove the repository and execute apt-get update.All went without problems.But if I open synaptic the uninstalled package is still listed as an available package. If I right-click it->properties->versions shows the already removed repository.If I execute apt-cache search package, no results are shown, but synaptic stills lists it.

As far as I understand I need to somehow replace the PHP 5.3 package provided under 10.04 with an older PHP 5.2 package provided under 9.10. However I am not sure whether this is the right way to downgrade PHP and if yes, I don't know how to replace the 10.04 package with 9.10 package.

The other day the wireless stopped working and now when I do an lspci I see no wireless listed. I know its using the broadcom 43xx but now I am not sure what else I can do. I tried going back in and reinstalling all the broadcom stuff from the package manager. Still nothing works.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI added a PPA repository to my sources list in order to install a package. After a day, i decided i didn't like the software, so i uninstalled it & removed the PPA from my sources list. Everything is still working just fine.
However, Synaptic is telling me that there is a "local or obsolete" package left over from the software i had originally installed. I can't remove the package because it is something that my entire desktop depends on (in Synaptic Package Manager, when i mark it for "Complete Removal," or even just "Removal," it says that pretty much everything else will be removed with it).The package i would like to "roll back" is libgtk2.0-common (2.24.0-1.1). although i had originally got this from a PPA, a very close version is available on Debian experimental here, which is version (2.24.0-1).
I'm currently running Debian Wheezy (upgrading to Jessie is not possible since I'm using OpenMediaVault which only supports Wheezy) but ever since I installed Deluge BitTorrent client that I've had this python-libtorrent package as "kept back". I'd like to fix this system state but how...
A few things I've tried:

They were added through OpenMediaVault's interface when I enabled some checkboxes to be able to install Deluge.

Tried with --fix-missing option as well. Same errors in this case also. How I can install python-dev package on 64-bit Ubuntu Linux machine?
Where is the best path to install all files of package when compiling?
For example - I want to install ProFTPd, so there's an option
--prefix=/usr/local/proftpd
, which means, that all files after compilation (including binary and configuration files) will be stored here. As you know, all packages, which are installed via package system (like zypper on SuSE or apt on Ubuntu) usually stores its configuration files in /etc/ and binary files in /sbin/ and also stores a link in my $PATH, so i can run in just by typing proftpd (without /sbin).
The huge advantage of packages installed via package system, i think, is easy uninstall process. I'd like to be able to uninstall compiled packages also easy.
I think i could be able to create some batch file, which I'll be able to use like this:
uninstall --package=proftpd
And my script will find all proftpd files in usuall paths (/etc, /sbin) and remove it using rm.
Is there any best practices, where to store all these files, or are there any (dis)advantages of my first example (--prefix=/usr/local/proftpd)?
I really don't think, that it's nice to have 2 paths with configuration files and binary files, but maybe I'm misunderstanding the basic principals of Linux... :-)
dpkg -i package.deb
Doesn't install package if it has not-installed dependencies.
What parameters do I miss to install that package with its dependencies from repository?
I have jdk.rpm.bin package. When I run the command ./jdk.rpm.bin it extracts and automatically installs the package. I want to extract rpm package only and to install rpm myself not automatically.
