You missed the 'dpkg' in front of it. That said, not sure my syntax is 100% correct, I have nothing with dpkg on it to test. And anyway, don't do it.

You missed my question, too:

Quote:
If you can get it from a repo, you can download it by other means. What was the repo? What was the package called?

well, as it turns out, I was able to deinstall it after a long search after all !

Thanks for the heads up !

Still, that didn't fix the problem, but I was able to recover important data, and am now restoring my phone.

Thanks Smilie
