Hi Eric, I replied before but it didn't seem to get through. I think I have found a problem with the sheetcamlibs package. Try downloading and installing the sheetcamlibs package again.
If you still get the error, open a terminal and enter the following: sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq sheetcamlibs You will probably have to enter your password. Hopefully that should force dpkg to delete the package. Sorry about that, Les Eric H.
