So I have a .deb package downloaded. I installed it using sudo apt install ... but it didn't work correctly. I tried removing it using sudo apt purge ... and it said that it can't remove a few directories (\opt... and \var\opt...) so I removed them manually.
I tried installing the package again and it got stock on "Setting up..." for hours. It wouldn't let me shut down my computer (the option was greyed out) so I force shut it down.
Now I can't use apt. Whenever I do, I get E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. but that doesn't work. It gets stuck on Setting up... again.
I tried this:
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
cd /var/lib/dpkg/updates
sudo rm *
sudo apt-get update
and then sudo apt remove but then it gets stuck on Removing...
Whenever I try to install something else, it also tries to set up this package and gets stuck.
I don't know what to do, I just want apt/dpkg to jsut ignore this package, not try to set it up or remove it otherwise it always gets stuck and locks apt.
