The basic problem is that as I try to open the synaptic package manager it comes back with
"An Error Occured,
E: the package vmware-server needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
"
so now I cannot install anything from the repositories...
thx
Can you tell us what you did to install it ? Were you following a how to ?
Also you mention "lenny/sid Ubuntu" what are you running exactly ? Is this a so called "mixed system" with multople repos in your sources list ?
With that said, try :
Code:
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq vmware-server
