E:The package libspnav0 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

and no one working: not Ubuntu Software Centre, nor Synaptic. I tried to use apt-get - the same:

sudo apt-get install libsnpav0
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: The package libspnav0 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

BUT!!! see carefully, please! my typed request - about libsnpav0, but system answer - about libspnav0. and if I shange this letter in request - the answer not changing... just mistery...

AND there is no one trace of this lib in the /var/lib/dpkg/status

so, how to install this lib?

thanks for advance )

  • there is no one trace of this lib in the /var/lib/dpkg/status, so it's not relevant. thanks, but no ))) – Stan Sep 24 '16 at 16:54
  • I was hoping you'd infer this, but I'm not great with judging that sort of thing. Replace `jdk` with your package. – TheWanderer Sep 24 '16 at 17:13
  • Did u change sources.list file? If not Try doing: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libsnpav0 (or libsnpav-dev) – minigeek Sep 24 '16 at 17:13
  • If there was no trace of `libspnav0` in `/var/lib/dpkg/status` dpkg and Apt would consider it installed (which is a prerequisite for a request for reinstallation). Please look harder. What's the output of `grep libsnpav0 /var/lib/dpkg/status`? – David Foerster Sep 25 '16 at 08:22
  • just nothing as an output for grep libsnpav0 /var/lib/dpkg/status – Stan Sep 27 '16 at 15:48

I believe you have made a typographical error. I think what you may be looking for is libsnpav0 You can find this in the Universe repository. Simply enable universe in software sources and install with sudo apt-get install libsnpav0 I found this package by searching Ubuntu Package Search:
