Software centre not working due to "cant find an archive"
After an atempt to install an application probably called "unifi" directly from Ubiquiti/unifi website I can no longer install new software or do anything like that. Whether I use synaptic, software centre, update manager or apt-get in the terminal I get the following error:
E: The package unifi needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
I have tried a few possible fixes with apt-get, like upgrade, update, install -f. Nothing works because every command related to installing software is not working due to the "installer" hanging at its unfinished business. I don"t mind not having "unifi" but cant find a way to let synaptic and the likes to move past it.
