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.>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi Leslie, Before you wrote this I tried to install the sheetcamlibs on Ubuntu 8.04 and had the same problem as other people for which you posted this fix. However, for a number of reasons, I didn't get around to trying to uninstall the broken sheetcamlibs package until this afternoon and I find that the above fix doesn't do the trick on my system. For some reason, when I do the above, I get an error which says that 'remove-reinstreq isn't a recognised instruction' for --force . I don't understand this as --force-help certainly lists it as a 'thing'. Since I can't use the package manager because it insists that 'sheetcamlibs needs reinstalling but can't find the archive' can you suggest any other course of action please - did I miss a subsequent post maybe??? thanks.. -- Best wishes, Ian ____________ Ian W.
