Linux Problem

What package did you remove? Dang, it looks like you removed dpkg, which nuked your package installation capabilities.

I tried to fix the error, but something went horribly wrong somehow. I'm reflashing a disk image again. These Linux problems have really upset me, so I'm going to try taking it easy today.

sudo apt remove package name

now, I get a cpu read error for installing or removing anything.

ouch, I didn’t mean remove.

apt-get uninstall?

There is actually a reinstall option

that didn't affect it. I kinda got to the bottom of it. zlib is part of ubuntu 20.4 and 22.4 (might be 18.4), but the dev one is not. I think there's a problem with ubuntu 20.04, possibly as a result of that. I gave up on it. ubuntu 22.04 reads zlib.h with the whereis command, and doesn't combine them with the gz file of the same name (zlib) if looking up zlib in general. 22.04 will differentiate, but there's a new problem where pacman or devkitpro will not install. I tried to add architecture for arm64, but there was an error about missing files. I gave up on that too, so I uninstalled both. I think I know how to fix it, but I just feel like redoing everything again.
