When I was using apititude to install something (I used aptitude because it installs all dependencies which was helpful) it decided to uninstall ALL my packages which happened to include my graphics drivers and other key programs installed. Now I am stuck trying to get back into my pc using
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
this has come back with the error:
"ERR1: http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InReleas
Temporary failure resovling 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com'
@username
should be written at the start of the comment for the other user to be notified. Regarding your problem why would you even try to do a reinstall of an entire like that after you removed it? Just use a usb or a cd. After all you're reinstalling everything, what difference would it make? Do a clean install
