As a new ubuntu user, I just make a mistaken.
I’ve deleted a folder /var/lib/dpkg/ instead of /var/lib/dpkg/lock.
Now when I execute apt-get -f install then it will display error message:
...
E: Cannot get debconf version. Is debconf installed?
debconf: apt-extracttemplates failed: No such file or directory
...
I’ve try this tutorial: http://people.adams.edu/~cdmiller/posts/Ubuntu-dpkg-recovery/ but still no luck.
How can I fix this issue?
Ubuntu really need to work with this little problem, there are many people who had same problem, ever try these solutions?
