So, I tried uninstalling the LAMP stack I had following the Ubuntu documentation for it. I also manually removed dbconfig-common.

Now, I'm unable to run apt-get update. When I do, I get the error message:

E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/htp could not be found.

After some digging, I've discovered that I no longer even have an /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Also, I've received an error, when trying to run:

sudo tasksel install lamp-server

That aptitude can not be found.

Does anyone have an idea of what I can do? I'm not able to find any documentation online that works - all the documentation out there is dated and no longer (or will not) work with 13.04.

I followed this link previously prior to posting my question and it did not work for me:

• How do I fix a "E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/http could not be found." error?
