Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
I tried to install a Brother mfc8820DN network printer using the instructions on the Brother website. It failed with an error 127. And now when I try to use the update manager I get the message -E:The package mfc8820dlpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
I cannot use update-manager now. How do I fix this?

Thanks for your bugreport.
Can you please point me to the brother website so that I can try to reproduce the problem myself? You can fix your system with "sudo dpkg --remove --force- reinst- required mfc8820dlpr"
Thanks,
Michael
