I am trying to install skype
in Ubuntu 12.04 and getting this error while doing so
E: The package skype:i386 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
I had followed steps provided in these links and this but same thing happens. Though I didn't tried with Ubuntu software center.
I am not able to identify what is causing trouble.
How can i fix this?
apt-cache madison skype
?apt-cache madison skype
,skype | 4.2.0.11-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 | http://archive.canonical.com/ precise/partner amd64 Packages skype | 4.2.0.11-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 | http://archive.canonical.com/ precise/partner Sources
apt-het install skype
and now even after trying every possible thing, i am unable to fix this.While searching even i get a suggestion,that may be i have to re-install ubuntu 12.04gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status
. In the resulting text file search for the sections start withPackage : skype
. Delete the whole section. If not yet resolved, see weather there is a.deb
file of skype in/var/cache/apt/archives/
folder. ( even inpartial
subfolder).
