I have a problem to install jedit:
After running sudo apt-get upgrade I am getting the following error:

ubuntu@ahome:/$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: The package jedit needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

When trying to install new application I am getting the following errors:

sudo apt-get install gkrellm

Installation with .deb
by beambot on Sat, 16/09/2006 - 11:13
Hi,

i have the same problem. But I could deinstall the file with

sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq

I hope with the next .deb i could sucessfully install the package.
( the .deb-server ist down - why, i don't know )

sry, for the bad english ...
