So, I installed squid and while removing squid I accedentally deleted the /etc/squid/ folder . Now I can't install squid again. How can I install squid now. output of apt-get install squid

  • And did you try launching squid and then checking the exsitence of such file after that. Whats the output of sudo updatedb && ls -lAh /etc/squid ?

doesn't work for me. All I get is

sudo apt-get install squid Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done squid is already the newest version (3.5.12-1ubuntu7.8). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 43 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue?

I've tried re-installing, removing, purging, and everything returns an error.
