Comment 23 for bug 987502

Hi darko,

Thanks for your help again!

I do believe I don't need this anyway as you say.

Yep I'm running low on HDD space atm and have used the repair broken
packages in boot mode.

I will have more space when I defrag the drive which has windows on it
so I can safely erase Windows and then use Gparted or similar to
rearrange things.
Last time I went to do this, Windows played up and I got some message
saying it was a non registered version??
Was never like that before so will have to look into that.
I haven't used windows since my first run of the previous version of Ubuntu.
I guess the best is to go offline to start windows,then see if I can
defrag maybe even in safe-mode?
Windows is so foreign to me now LOL yet I knew it inside out once.

Any simple command to remove the offending library?

I've searched and cannot understand the lingo, a bit deep for me.

I have sudo'd all commands and the 'apt-get-update' many times with
reboot without success.

Thanks again mate for the support.

Andrew
