I was trying to get my Logitech G510 keyboard's back-lights working so I went into the Synaptic Package Manager and marked LibG15, G15daemon, and all the other associated packages. Synaptic reported a failed install. Now all Package management is failing due to libg15 being "halfway installed."
Some commands I have tried to fix the problem follow. . .
root@bt:~# apt-get upgrade

E: The package libg15 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

I'm not too computer savvy. Any help would be much appreciated!!! Note: I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 under Backtrack 5 R3.
