I followed the guidelines in this post - @ - but it seems that this has brought about a new problem, I can no longer update plex due to the error "E: The package plexmediaserver needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." This is a very annoying problem as I am unable to open Synaptic due to the same error, can someone please find a fix for this.

Firstly the solution for removing plex error i followed this instruction
sudo rm -f /etc/init.d/plexmediaserver &&
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all plexmediaserver
sudo apt-get purge plexmediaserver
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/plexmediaserver
sudo userdel plex
sudo rm /etc/init/plexmediaserver.conf
sudo rm /etc/default/plexmediaserver
After all the above steps I have downloaded from software center plex. that vertion is so old. Then i upgraded to this vertion plexmediaserver_0.9.11.7.803-87d0708_amd64 this vertion is kind of working okay.
And NOW EVERYTHING WORKING PERFECT FOR ME
sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver-[whichever version].deb
. Then,sudo dpkg --configure -a
and dpkg will probably stop complaining.plexmediaserver.service
file as described here.
