Bug Description
I was attempting to install printer drivers from Brother. These drivers would not install.
Now, every time I open the Update Manager (Ubuntu 7.10) I get the following:
Could not initialize the package information
An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:The package hl1430lpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.'
.
Not sure what's wrong
To post a comment you must log in.
is this still an issue? could you please attach the complete output when trying to update?
where did get the brother drivers from? if the driver installation did not succeed anyways, try to remove the "hl1430lpr" package and see if this at least fixes you apt system.
