Easyubuntu installation error causing conflict with Update manager?
So I've switched back to 7.04.
Now I'm trying to set everything back up the way it was.
I'm trying to install easyubuntu but this time it came up with an error saying that the package is either corrupted or I don't have permission. (I don't remember the exact message).
I was logged in as Root at the time because after updating to 2.xxx.16 kernel, I had to edit the menu.lst file to add IRQPOLL (it speeds my machine up tremendously during boot, that's why I was logged in as Root). So I'm pretty sure I had permission.
I can't uninstall easyubuntu though - I tried in a terminal window the following command:
apt-get remove easyubuntu
...and it complained that it couldn't find the archive and I should report the problem (it didn't say to whom!)
I'm logged in as my regular users now and I wanted to run update manager. Update manager is now saying to me (and this I'm reading off the screen as I enter it in:
"Could not initialize the package information
A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:The package easyubuntu needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.'
So how do I fix this? Please help?
