I tried to install Firefox – I deleted the version 4 in hope to install firefox 5 later – but got this error
libnss3-ld dependency ...
I decided to do this
sudo apt-get install libnss3-ld
and went away. When I came back this command had deleted almost everything, drivers, programs, et cetera.
I never thought that apt-get install could delete anything.
Why did it happen?
-yoption, and even then it wouldn't remove essential stuff. What exactly has been deleted? – slhck Aug 17 '11 at 13:23apthas just decided to go nuclear and delete every package I had installed, including my desktop environments, and apparently my user account, so no logging in for me – Yonatan Avhar May 10 '21 at 21:17
