problem reinstalling eclipse: missing /usr/lib/eclipse

[noahlt]

After uninstalling Eclipse, I deleted /usr/lib/eclipse. When I reinstalled Eclipse, apt-get did not reinstall /usr/lib/eclipse.

In short:


$ sudo apt-get remove eclipse
...
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/eclipse
$ rm -rf ~/.eclipse
$ rm -rf ~/workspace
$ sudo apt-get install eclipse
...
$ eclipse
/usr/bin/eclipse: 7: /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse: not found


How do I get my /usr/lib/eclipse back?

Solved it -- the other eclipse packages weren't getting removed, so I ran this:


$ sudo apt-get remove eclipse
...
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
...
$ sudo apt-get install eclipse
...

and now eclipse works.
