Problem with update manager

Asked by Troy Frederick Lim

Help! I accidentally run "sudo apt-get remove compiz-core" . i followed the instructions on http://www.compiz.org/Compiz_and_Copmiz_Fusion_GIT_Ubuntu_Repository
I am using Ubuntu 7.04 - the Feisty Fawn - released in April 2007. I did that because I wanted to install compiz fusion which came to an error.. :( Now the update manager tells me that only partial updates can be installed. Is there anything I can do to reverse the process?

sure you can, for instance, remove the repositories you add from this webpage, then run

user@machine:~$ sudo apt-get update
user@machine:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade -u
user@machine:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall compiz/feisty compiz-core/feisty

which should force to reinstall the packages from the official ubuntu repository, take in consideration that maybe others packages that can be deinstalled by this process, try to add them the same way as you did with compiz and compiz-core, if there's no candidate forget them and try with the ones that have package candidate.

hope this helps and gooooooooood luck.
