I tried installing some theme software but it is showing me this error.

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree 
Reading state information... Done
E: The package code needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

I'd uninstall it asap. – heynnema May 30 '17 at 14:21
Uninstall what? OS? – Sangwin Gawande May 31 '17 at 03:47
Uninstall the theme software that caused your problem. – heynnema May 31 '17 at 04:08
I only installed GIT, nothing else – Sangwin Gawande May 31 '17 at 04:09
But you said "I tried installing some theme software". GIT is not theme software. If that's what caused your problem, I was suggesting that you uninstall it. – heynnema May 31 '17 at 12:58
I tried but it didn't install , see error "The package code needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." – Sangwin Gawande May 31 '17 at 17:48
How/where did you get the theme software that you were trying to install? – heynnema May 31 '17 at 18:28

Was faenza-icon-theme the one you installed? If so, you could try sudo apt-get purge faenza-icon-theme to remove it. Did you also install ubuntu-tweak? ubuntu-tweak is no longer supported, and is not compatible with later versions of Ubuntu. – heynnema Jun 01 '17 at 12:44
I tried above commands, it still says "E: The package code needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." – Sangwin Gawande Jun 02 '17 at 03:51
Try sudo apt-get install --reinstall faenza-icon-theme. – heynnema Jun 02 '17 at 13:08
Sorry, Same error as above. – Sangwin Gawande Jun 07 '17 at 05:13
In Software & Updates, Ubuntu Software tab, are all of the repositories checked, and a server chosen? – heynnema Jun 07 '17 at 13:16
Yes, It's all fine – Sangwin Gawande Jun 20 '17 at 11:55
Remove ubuntu-tweak like so sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-tweak. Install the unity-tweak-tool and choose your theme, and icon theme there. Report back. – heynnema Jun 20 '17 at 12:50
System is not letting me install anything, "E: The package code needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." – Sangwin Gawande Jun 20 '17 at 12:53

Sorry no luck, I'm going to format and install new version. That seems the easiest way now. Thanks you for your answers. :) – Sangwin Gawande Jun 21 '17 at 07:16
