Problems re-installing U1 (was: Re: Do you have a ubuntu-one manual)

So I thought I would uninstall ubuntuone and then reinstall it (to get back to a known baseline).


# sudo aptitude remove python-ubuntuone-client\
 python-ubuntuone-storageprotocol ubuntuone-client\
 ubuntuone-client-gnome ubuntuone-ppa-beta

Now, attempts to install it fail:

tonyw@leeds:~$ sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-client
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package ubuntuone-client is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  python-ubuntuone-client
E: Package ubuntuone-client has no installation candidate


Anyone have any idea what I've done wrong?

This point is confusing because sometimes items I delete locally are deleted from the web site, sometimes they are not. This could be a bug, or intended behavior. Without documentation, how can we tell?

Cool. If you're looking for beta-readers, I'll bet this list has plenty of volunteers.

Okay. Thanks for the information. I had several things going on at once - let me get back to a known baseline and I'll keep an eye out for it.
