I have run into an issue today and cannot find a suitable solution searching the forum. I was attempting to update my TorGuard VPN client to the current version and received an error. Now when I try to run Synaptic Package Manager or the Software Manager they will not refresh or are unable to load the package list. The only error I get is The package torguard needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
I have tried several command line apt commands to correct teh issue but they all return the same error mentioned above. I also see a reference to an internal error opening the cache. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
