I just started using Ubuntu and I got an error like this after downloading a program. I can't fix this error. I can't update or when I want to do any download I am getting this:

Reading package lists... Done
Creating dependency tree... Done
Reading status info... Done
E: The package st-stlink-udev-rules needs to be reinstalled, but the required archive file cannot be found.

I think I also corrupted the sources.list file while trying to fix this. I need to install a few programs but I can't download anything including updates. Also I don't know how to download the st-stlink-udev-rules package. Since I am in the middle of a very important job, I need to fix this error without reinstalling the system.

  • Since you are new Ubuntu user, I would recommend a complete re-install. Please, backup any important documents and other files to a USB drive and re-install Ubuntu. – FedKad Sep 28 '21 at 10:46

  • Nothing has changed. – Buket Sep 28 '21 at 12:58
  • Please run grep -r "^deb " /etc/apt/ --include="*.list" and upload output to pastebin. The st-stlink-udev-rules packages was probably installed for STM32 microcontrollers. Do you plan to use them in near future? – N0rbert Sep 28 '21 at 16:58
  • Yes I encountered this error after downloading and deleting STM32Cube and I don't plan to use it anytime soon.

I fixed with this command:

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq st-stlink-udev-rules
