    how to fix broken package?

    hi,

    i was playing with ndiswrapper.
    i was thinking about loading newer drivers, but i did not know the command "ndiswrapper -r". now i know, but its too late...

    you know what i did?
    ctrl+alt+f1 - login as root.
    then i deleted everything from the folder ndiswrapper in etc.
    (windowze way of thinking - sometimes i did not perform normal unistall for some crazy things, i was just fixing registry then for a while )

    i installed ndiwsrapper again from .deb packages i have.
    i tried to load the new driver. it was okay at that point.
    also with "ndiswrapper -m" and system told me, that it;s already done.
    then i tried to rmmod ndiswrapper and when it tried to modprobe ndisrapper, it freezes.

    now i cannot even unistall it correctly with sudo apt-get uninstall, nor make it work
    should not have played as the big system root

    is this the second time i have to reinstall ubuntu in 5 days?

    In terminal enter sudo apt-get autoclean then try re-installing with synaptic

    in synaptic under edit choose fix broken packages and it will remove packages with unmet dependencies
