As /u/theamk said, this is analogous to deleting windows32… at some point, if you do stuff like that, without knowing what you are doing, you have to take responsibility for borking your system.
- chuckadams 3y agoSince the NT days, Windows uses the system attribute on most things in that directory, which prevents delete from working unless forced. You'd think apt would scream bloody murder about dependencies, but apparently not.
- throw10920 3y agoThis is not analogous to deleting windows32. The original poster didn't go around deleting random files on their hard drive - they used a known interface, apt/dpkg, in the manner it was meant to be used, further evidenced by the fact that the fix basically boiled down to running more apt commands (and getting wired internet, which you'd have to do if you used apt to remove wireless configuration tools). It's entirely reasonable to ask for a "rollback" feature in this case.
