error on upgrade

Hi all, tried to upgrade (thought I had uninstalled, guess I didnt..)
I am now unable to update/upgrade at all. When I run the .deb, I get this:

Code: Select all

E: The package deluge-torrent needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
The update icon for the synaptic package manger gives me this:

Code: Select all

E: The package deluge-torrent needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
Then crashes when I click on the close button.

And last but not least, the Update Manager gives me this:

Code: Select all

A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

'E:The package deluge-torrent needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.'
So I cant run ANY updates.. what the hell went wrong?

what the hell did you do? what do you mean run the deb? you're not supposed to "run a deb". ??? you download the package and sudo dpkg -i foo.deb

Apparently I did what I always do when I dl a deb... I just dbl click it and the package mgr installs it... :?:

Obviously an noob error... Thanks for the command, it worked like I actually knew what I was doing. Thanks!
