How to fix broken package

hereticus · 03-20-2014, 08:45 PM

I tried to install packages before installing revisions. This fixed my problem.

After an arguous bout with this problem I found what worked for me was simply to remove the problem and start over by reinstalling the package. Here is how I removed the package. sudo apt-get autoremove <package name> Then I simply reinstalled it.

hope this helps.

please can you describe how did you fix synaptic packages. because probably you did same with owncloud-client - install it on raspbian - wheeze light - debian easy installation.

many thanks

EDIT: who wants to install owncloud client on raspbian and met with problem of packages to be fixed, stop and follow this manual

Just remove the app and broken related packets... for in sequence to do a complete reinstall
In my case when I tried to add vim-gtk, the system complained about vim-common and vim-runtime

# Removing:
sudo apt-get remove --purge vim
sudo apt-get remove --purge vim-common
sudo apt-get remove --purge vim-runtime

# refresh repositories (optional)
sudo apt-get update

# reinstall
sudo apt-get install vim
