“Error: The ___ package needs to be reinstalled but I can’t find an archive for it”

If you see the above error message
There was a package that’s installation failed before, so the OS won’t let you install packages
  1. Make a backup of the dpkg status file by issuing the following command
    cp /var/lib/dpkg/status status.bkp
  2. Now open the dpkg status file for editing with this command
    gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status
  3. Search for the package name that appears in the error.
    Its state is usually something like: “purge reinstreq half-installed”
  4. Delete the section of information related to that package and save the file.
  5. Now you can install the BitNinja without any issue.
