Problems with Synaptic

[mbohacek]

I am new to this Ubuntu thing and recently change the look of it to look like mac following the directions from:
http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-...ard/2008/07/23

Everything looks great but now when I try to open synaptic package manager it says:

E: The package libgtk2.0-common needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.

Anyone know how to fix this problem?

From the terminal you can type :
apt-cache showpkg libgtk2.0-common

this will verify that you have it listed in your repository and show you the version info. If you see that it is listed then you can type:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-common

I put those commands in the Terminal and it says:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgtk2.0-common
sudo: unable to resolve host bo-laptop
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: The package libgtk2.0-common needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

What can I do from here?

Thanks for the help!!!

You could try a force remove of the package

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq libgtk2.0-common
then reinstall with

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-common
