So my system is BORKed.
Is there a method to unBORK from the command line?
Thank you.
You can try;
[root@localhost ~]# apt-get install aptupgrade <Enter>
Once installed, you need to actually run aptupgrade;
[root@localhost ~]# aptupgrade <Enter>
after which you can try installing
task-kde4-minimal again, then installing whatever other apps are missing. Whether you succeed of not is a matter of just how long it was that you waited between upgrades before the problem struck. If you waited so long that there is no upgrade path for certain apps, you may still end up with broken apps getting in the way of installing the newer version.
The only way to know is to try. At worst, you need to do a
reinstall from the
newest .iso image.
I personally like the challenge of repairing my system from the CLI, but usually, for most people, it's a lot
quicker to just go for the
reinstall, being sure to
not let the installer
format your
/home partition.
