A few days back I tried to install 0ad, a game, through the terminal. I accidentally closed the terminal before it was finished and now I can't install or update any program on my machine. I'm running 13.10.
I have tried searching and found many articles, posts, and discussions around this error but I have yet to find a method that works to fix it.
I have tried running
sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove
which outputs

The following packages will be REMOVED:

I lost my network connection after this. I thinks some one screwed up note the "vmlinuz" instead of vmlinux.

A few days back I tried to install 0ad, a game, through the terminal. I accidentally closed the terminal before it was finished and now I can't install or update any program on my machine. I'm running 13.10.
I have tried searching and found many articles, posts, and discussions around this error but I have yet to find a method that works to fix it.
I have tried running
sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove
which outputs

Your problem may be related to debconf database corruption.
Run the following:
sudo /usr/share/debconf/fix_db.pl
You might have fixed the problem right there.
Check to see if any of these templates were effected by running the following bash commands:
diff -u /var/cache/debconf/config.dat{-old,} | grep ^[+-]Name
diff -u /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat{-old,} | grep ^[+-]Name
You may sill want to run the following command on the package that was causing trouble:
dpkg-reconfigure <your package>

The error message is pretty self-explanatory:
/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 35: /etc/default/grub: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution
You have an error in your /etc/default/grub
.
