I have installed xampp which at first didn't worked. The mysql service didn't want to start or stop. I then uninstalled xampp, tried to install mysql server and a client from Software Center. It didn't complete (install errors). I then removed them, restarted and reinstalled xampp. This time it worked (that is my sql, php etc).
However, since then, whenever I install an app, either through the Software Center or apt-get, I get an error that a previous package was not installed fully and the installed app is not available.
How can I fix this error and starting using my apps?
