After I compiled and made a .deb (sudo checkinstall) package of Python 3.x and launced it on my Mint 9 Isadora x86_64 Gnome (Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS), something strange happened. It begun to delete many packeges like mintdesktop.deb, python 2.x and many other packages! Now I have a little terminal window at every boot and no Internet connection (I checked it from Links and tried to ping my router - ping 192.168.1.1 , btw from Live CD-DVD GNU/Linux distributions and my Windows XP I can acces to Internet). Some of erros I have in console now:

bash: /usr/bin/mint-fortune: No such file or directory

If I try to install a .deb package from HDD or USB:

E: Couldn't find package packagename.deb

When I launch Synaptic from terminal and try to install something:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. <OK>
Could not apply changes!
Fix broken packages first!

1)How to fix my Network and those erros? 2)Why this happened? I used an official instruction how to compile and make a .deb package - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware

I tried some cleaning commands: sudo apt-get autoclean, sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get update and upgrade, sudo apt-get -f install and install -f. Nothing worked for me :(

Sorry for my English and thank you for your help in advance!

This question is off-topic here, since it is about Mint and not Ubuntu. You should ask it on Unix & Linux. Please give more information, as your question is difficult if not impossible to answer. What package exactly did you install? What commands did you run (copy-paste)? What is the output of apt-get -f install? – Gilles Nov 18 '12 at 21:59
Please forget about it is Mint. Now I'm asking about Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS amd64. – qwanom Nov 19 '12 at 7:42
