I am sitting on an Ubuntu 11.10 desktop and something went horribly wrong here... I wanted to uninstall gmpc and gmpc-plugins with
sudo apt-get remove --purge gmpc*but now see that a whole lot of other things got uninstalled/purged as well, incl. libre-office, xorg, ubuntu-desktop...
I haven't rebooted yet and I also still have the terminal with all the output from that apt-get command open. I wonder whether the programs and conf files are still in some cache so that I could restore everything I just removed/purged.
Or will it be less hassle to do a fresh install of my ubuntu?
Not so cheerful right now,
