I'm getting this error message:

E: The package libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

I tried this to fix:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0

but it always returns this:

E: The package libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

I'm running 16.04.

Thanks

Dave

  • I had to update my sources to include the archive directories:

    deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe multiverse deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates universe multiverse

    I then did: sudo apt-get install libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0 but I got a message that it was half-installed.

    To fix that I did a sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq --dry-run libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0:amd64 but that reported it was in a very bad inconsistent state

    To fix that I did a sudo apt-get install --reinstall libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0:amd64
