Linux Mint Forums

Good morning,
I have a problem that I can not solve by myself, so I ask your help. I installed LinuxMint Debian Edition a few days ago and uninstalling packages "evolution-data-server" and "evolution-sata-server-common"(since uninstalled the Evolution mail program that had changed Claws Mail) It also uninstalled Gnome desktop environment. And since there was no other in the login only let me choose "System Default" but I login and did not start any graphical environment. I went into console mode and reinstall with aptitude the "Gnome metapackage" and everything seemed fixed. Since then stopped working "MintInstall." I run from console "mintinstall" and I get this response:

I tried to reinstall package "mintintall" but nothing. Any ideas?
Thank you very much!!!
