every time I try to install something by writing sudo apt-get install in the terminal, I have always the same answer :

E: The package linux-image-3.0.0-32-generic needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

I can't remove and reinstall this package (same error) and I don't know how I can correct this error. Thank you very much!

  • Reinstall your system, packages with the kernel is marked so that it can not re-install or remove them. – Gustaf Dec 26 '13 at 17:55

You can try to run

sudo apt-get update

and try again.

If this fails, your best option would be to back up and reinstall Ubuntu

The package named in the error log is the package containing the Linux kernel currently installed on your system.

SO it seems like your system is broken. I don't know any other way to fix this than to reinstall your system. There may be other's, but it's safest to reinstall, so you get a clean and fresh system.

If you got this problem since installation, I'd check whether the ISO file you got isn't damaged (redownload, compare md5 sums)
