Hi I have a customer who has indulged in extreme stupid stuff. > root@bol04:/home/stm# dpkg -r x11vnc x11vncdata > dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching x11vnc > dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching x11vncdata
but The following packages have unmet dependencies: x11vnc : Depends: x11vnc-data (= 0.9.12-1build1) but 0.9.13-1.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. So I want to scrap and rebuild the package database. All my googling says 'you don't really want to do that' I do! all the --set-selections etc options don't do anything for me Short of suggesting he climb to the top of the tower, dagga clenched between teeth ... Is there any sane (telling him to manually edit the status file is not sane!) way to recover?
