    kpackakekit, konsole, upgrades and installing programs

    hi guys
    i am facing an issue about two days now
    kpackagekit is useless , even console updating or upgrading just can't be done anymore
    after some surfing i decided to try avast, but for hell knows what reason installation failed ( dependency problems)( i tried the .deb files from official site)
    now the failed install hangs on kpackagekit and konsole
    i surfed for two day now and the advices found proved useless for me (i even installed an patch for utf)(on nabble i found a discussion list, i tried some advices from it)
    if i try to upgrade programs, install some, refresh kpackagekit, i get this error

    Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/packagekit/daemonBackend.py", line 109, in run threading.Thread.run(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 477, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 168, in wrapper func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 1326, in doRefreshCache self._check_init((0,10)) File "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 1756, in _check_init self._cache.clear() File "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 246, in clear self._depcache.Init() SystemError: E:The package avast4server needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.


    apt-get tells me about avast and closes

    aptitude gives me this

    E: I wasn't able to locate file for the avast4server package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

    E: Internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to download


    i tried to manually manage the install, but i get the first error

    the install -f, --cofigure -a commands solve nothing
    can any of you help? even with a link to documentation, so to be able to solve it by myself and eventually understand what broke
    thanks in advance
    best regards

    Sorry no one has gotten back to you. Okay. Does apt-get work at all? Tell me what is error is (if any) for the following command.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    It should scroll through a list of repositories.

    Let me know and I will do what I can to help you out.
