I have the exact same problem! I wanted to install the kompozer html editor ,so I downloaded the .deb package and instead of saving to disk, i checked run and open - during install it reported some error so it never got installed. now, update manager, and EVERY package manager fails every time.
>Could not initialize the package information >A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. >Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: >'E:The package kompozer needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.' I am planning to do a fresh install of gutsy, since I have not been able to fix it at all. This seems like a serious bug! ** Attachment added: "Screenshot.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9890393/Screenshot.png -- update manager: 'E:The package opera needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141541 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
