help... i am stupid

[unnati]

ok

i was getting a lot of dependency problems for libc6...umm so i kinda got irritated and did
dpkg -i --force-depends -r libc6

NOW NOTHING WORKS
it keeps on saying /usr/bin/apt-get : no such file or directory
the file manager, control panel, internet...nothing opens up

how do i geteverything to work again?? or did i mess up bigtime??

that sounds like a good one

you could try
dpkg-reconfigure apt
and if that doesn't work

dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/apt*
to try and reinstall apt
and see what happens. let us know how it goes.

Hey

for both the commands i get
/usr/bin/dpkg: no such file or directory

currently i am in home/user directory and i am not root as it keeps on saying /usr/bin/sudo: no such file or directory

*tears*

[jledhead]

can you try as root

su -

[unnati]

wasn't able to do that either
but never mind...i was able to get a new software (was working on n810) from nokia website...phew so my n810 is no longer just a paper weight!!

lesson learned: never run unknown commands

thanks a lot
and happy halloween
