Linux Usage: solution for installing debian deb in ubuntu

Sometimes, we will download debian deb and installed it under ubuntu. If you are lucky, this will be okay and the installation will go normally. However, it may report errors like:
The package XYZ needs to be reinstalled, but I can’t find an archive for it.

XYX is the name of your deb package.

At that time, you can remove the wrong package using the following command in terminal:
$ sudo dpkg –remove –force-remove-reinstreq XYZ
