Error while installing GCC in Ubuntu 18.10
1
I have been a complete fool and uninstalled GCC from Ubuntu 18.10 installation. In the process DKMS and Nvidia driver has also been removed. After a long battle I now have a clean package system, but when I try to install gcc I get the following error:
sudo apt-get install gcc

Suggested packages:
