Installation causing broken packages
- by AWE
Here I come
I am so determined to use Ubuntu that I paid a professional to install it for me (dualboot). When I got it I got a lot of things from the software center. Skype did not have a download button so I googled it and Ubuntu help told me to do this:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
and then this:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype
The terminal told me "that this is potentially harmful..." but I thought it was Ubuntu language meaning "are you sure?"
Now items cannot be installed or removed until the package catalog is repaired, so I want to repair it but the package operation fails.
"sudo aptitude -f install" - command not found
Synaptic package manager tells me that I have two broken packages, libc6 and libc6-dev but doesn't help, only makes life complicated.
What the *#$%&!!! I don't want to be forced to become a computer scientist just to be able to use a free source os.
P.s. the sound stopped working
