Plymouth package broken... Can I safely remove it? Other solution to repare it?
- by Julien Gorenflot
I have a broken package... So far nothing horrible. The problem is that it is Plymouth, and it seems that if I remove it, I will remove half of the packages of my system... So here is my question: if I actually remove, or even purge plymouth; will I at least have a terminal left after it to reinstall it? Or am I definitely doomed?
Just to illustrate what I say; here is the result of an
apt-get --reinstall install plymouth:
julien@julien-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install plymouth
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reinstallation of plymouth is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
plymouth : Depends: libdrm-nouveau1 (>= 2.4.11-1ubuntu1~) but it is not installable
Recommends: plymouth-themes-all but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
or an
apt-get -f install
(well basically it is the same)
julien@julien-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

Any idea would be very welcome...
