I use Ubuntu 12.10. I installed Tupi (2D Animation package) and without warning it uninstalled software. (Downloaded it from the SourceForge site as a .deb) It removed: <ul> <li>gimp</li> <li>inkscape</li> <li>gedit</li> <li>software centre</li> </ul> These are the ones I have found so far. I have no idea what other software it has touched - or what else it can do. I am very concerned. It removed the software completely, including repositories and updates. It's as though my computer had never heard of these programs. Home directory appears untouched? although I am currently copying it over to an external HDD. I have not shut the computer down - too scared to. Help would be gratefully appreciated. Sonia </blockquote> Just installed it on a Ubuntu 13.10 machine directly from the software library (it's the same 0.2 version as available as source on sourceforge) and no problem whatsoever. GIMP still present on the machine and available. On Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) it's not in the repositories. So I installed the package from Sourceforge but the only .deb I have is for version 0.1... which I have just installed. Double clicked on the .deb, and it installed directly. It launches fine. GIMP is still present, and Software Center also. I imagine 2 things might have happened on your system : 1) Could it be that you have installed the wrong .deb (i.e. the 386 on a 64 bit machine, or the amd64 on a 32 bit machine)? In which case, it might have tried to replace original libraries with the wrong architecture trying to update them. This didn't happen on my system where I tried installing the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine - it only complained about not being able to install libavcodec53 (which was already installed)... if you "FORCED" the installation, bad things could have happened. Can you tell us what command line you typed to install it? 2) Maybe your machine ran out of disk space, in which case bad things happen like files missing... and could be what you are experiencing. Can you tell us how much space you have left on all your partitions ("df -h" should give you that). Gilles. </body> </html>
