E: The package ubuntu-mono needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it

Question

I installed Ubuntu 16.04 I'm getting this error:

E: The package ubuntu-mono needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

I haven't found the solution. What should I do?

I was trying to install office 2013 using play on Linux and I was facing a problem and that problem lead to this error :( — dalia raad, Jan 04 '17 at 19:01
No, it's the exact same thing. Start by checking the repositories and enable what is eventually disabled. Then do (in terminal) sudo apt update. Then try sudo apt install ubuntu-mono. If errors, please edit your question and post the full error messages along with the steps that triggered the original error. — , Jan 04 '17 at 19:16
ok.... I start it by using this command sudo dpkg --remove --force-all hl1440lpr and I got this message .. dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove hl1440lpr which isn't installed — dalia raad, Jan 04 '17 at 19:31
Don't follow it exactly. You need to replace the package names with the one affecting you. — TheWanderer, Jan 05 '17 at 00:47
