Hi guys,
I am currently having problems with my ubuntu system and would like help of any kind. thanks.
So i am experiencing a broken package.. i tried to fix it and remove it (the package is update-notifier) but could not.
here is what i tried to do
root@umair-desktop:/home/umair# apt-get install -f
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
ubuntu-desktop update-notifier
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 373kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 23216 package `update-notifier':
`Depends' field, reference to `libice6': version contains ` '
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
I would like to know if there is any way of forcible removing the program.. i cannot downgrade libice6 because it is affecting almost all the programs installed. So i dropped that option.
Please, any help would be great, i do not want to change to windows and i might have to if i do not get this right. (because of this i cannot install or remove any kind of program.)
