I should have mentioned that I'm working out how to build a package, so
this broken package is mine. The actual archive is sitting in a plain
old directory of my user.<br>
<br>
Synaptic says:<br>
<br>
" E: the package test needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an
archive for it."<br>
" E: Internal error opening chache(1). Please report."<br>
<br>
So I guess I'm reporting it to you ha ha. <br>

experimenting with a debian package on a virtual machine, and have
managed to get to the state where nothing can be installed until this
package is removed, but the package cannot be removed because it cannot
find an archive for it.<br>
<br>
I'd like to learn something here, which is how to tell ubuntu to get
rid of the package even if it cannot find an archive?<br>
