Hi all. Yesterday I was trying to install checkgmail and I bumped into this site http://marius.scurtescu.com/2007/06/25/installing_checkgmail_on_ubuntu I followed the instructions but nothing happened, so I figured I'd remove what I'd installed. When I ran 'sudo apt-get remove libextutils-depends-perl libextutils-pkgconfig-perl' a LOT of packages were removed, I read something about rhythmbox, update-manager, compiz and power-somethingIcouldntcatch. Definately more than 15 packages.
This morning, system won't boot. I type my login+passwd and the computer is just there, not frozen, but not doing anything either. Fixes from recovery-mode dont' help and I can only login with failsafe terminal, GNOME failsafe says something about "Couldn't find installation'. I tried reinstalling those two packages, but nothing happened.
Any ideas? Is there a way to check what all those removed packages were? Sort of like a history of term prints? Would it be advisable to reinstall them all?
Thanks a lot
