    You didn't say what version you are running. The package is available if using the correct version (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libpolkit-gobject-1-0); if using an unsupported or development version of Ubuntu your question is off-topic on this site (is that why you didn't mention release of Ubuntu? if using Ubuntu at all. It's a package used by Mint a lot more than Ubuntu!) – guiverc Sep 15 '18 at 23:02

    Please add output of apt-cache policy libpolkit-gobject-1-0 to the question and specify your Ubuntu version. – N0rbert Sep 16 '18 at 08:48

sudo dpkg –-remove –-force-remove-reinstreq <package_name>

<package_name> should be replaced with the name of the package you want to remove.

    Can you explain how work that command (explanation of options for example) ? Please edit your answer. – damadam Nov 20 '19 at 09:08
  • Try ordinary --force first, or try troubleshooting the problem. --force-remove-reinstreq is the nuclear option: It will cause apt to forget that the package is installed, but it won't remove any of the files. You must cleanup all the fallout manually. – user535733 Aug 10 '23 at 14:06
