apt-get broken + dependencies issue + many software uninstalled
- by vnc786
OS=ubuntu 12.04 64bit 3.2.0-29-generic
what i did?
apt-get purge libre*
which i thought will remove LO 3.5 but, which was a big mistake after couple of moments, i realise that its is removing all other software so i did cltl-c which stopped the apt process i restarted my system after that i found that following software were missing apt-get,evince(pdf), cheese etc..here is full list http://pastebin.com/CWHrw10y
i managed to install APT deb file through dpkg but now i am not able to do any installation so i just removed /var/lib/dpkg/status and created new but that didnt help
apt-get -f install

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6 : Depends: libgcc1 but it is not installed
Depends: tzdata but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
i have tried below link
Unable to install due to debconf problem
