then sudo dpkg --configure -a
then sudo apt-get install bandwidthd

[harshsaini]

try sudo apt-get remvoe bandwidthd

This is also not working and make things worse,

And when i try to install anything then giving this error:

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

Now what should i do????:(:(

I also tried from "Synaptic Package Manager", but nothing can be done from there too..
Suggest some thing......

[Joeb454]

Another thing to try (off the top of my head) is
sudo apt-get install -f....I think that's right :)

This is also not working

It would not work because remove is misspelled. It should be this:


sudo apt-get remove bandwidthd

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get install bandwidthd

op has already done that with the correct spelling..see post number 5
