Matt Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I was messing around with Compiz yesterday, which I probably shouldn't have done just yet. Now this morning I went from Applications > Add/Remove. The progress bar started rolling as it checked for installed and available applications, then it threw this at me:I did the last bit to update and install, but it didn't fix it. I'm not sure how to check the permissions and correctness of /etc/apt/sources.list or how to check for broken packages with synaptic.Edit: I should probably mention that I'm on the latest Ubuntu with Gnome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Did you try installing Compiz, at which time your package manager was broken? Did Compiz install without errors? Did you have to edit your sources.lst file manually before installing Compiz?You can check the permissions of the file using this commandls -l /etc/apt/sources.lst Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hi shanenin, I fixed it. Just went into synaptic, checked the 'Broken' filter, and told it to complete remove those broken packages (which were part of Compiz). I was planning on removing Compiz anyway, so now all is good. As for your other questions... Nope, everything with Compiz installed fine and I didn't edit sources.lst. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Glad you got it fixed, I had no idea what might be wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
