Uninstalled nautilus (default file manager)

br flag

Before the first coffee of the day sleepy me had the great idea to uninstall nautilus.

sudo apt remove nautilus

Now I am unable to reinstall it.

philipp@X1C:~$ sudo apt install nautilus

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

            Depends: nautilus-data (= 1:40.2-1ubuntu1) but 1:40.2-1ubuntu1ppa1 is to be installed
N: Ignoring file 'fman.list#' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How do I resolve the unmet dependencies and install nautilus again?

Edit: libnautilus-extension1a and nautilus-data seem to be installed.

Thanks!

I don't think the problem is with `nautilus` but generally with your sources. Dependency issues are almost always coming from third-party repositories you added. Check [here](https://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies-after-adding-a-ppa) how to fix.

The problem occurred because of ppa dependencies I modified earlier: I was able to fix it:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubomir-brindza/nautilus-typeahead
sudo apt-get update
mangohost

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
