Comment 5 for bug 86087

I am running into this too, I am a newbie, I mean I just recently-last week- started to run Ubuntu on my Dell Pentium 3000 Desktop. I installed some packages that seemed great to have, but now am stuck with no way to add or remove anything. I have entered my recent error codes into Google and had some luck on how to uninstall clvm and have performed verbatum in terminal. I guess i could believe that there is some admin prv, like the university, but this is my computer. I wonder if maybe rebooting CD image and reinstalling will work and ignore Red Hat .
