我可能疯了，我试图编辑
/usr/share/gconf/defaults/05_panel-default-setup.entries
文件，我搞砸了，最后每当我尝试安装/删除任何东西时，我都会收到一个巨大的错误消息，就像这个一样，请帮帮我，我发誓我不会再这样做了

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
编辑：我尝试按照 Lekensteyn 的建议重新安装 gnome-panel-data，但错误仍然存在，可能文件不是罪魁祸首，这是怎么回事？
答案1
大多数情况下，重新安装该软件包就可以了。
首先，确定负责该文件的包：
dpkg -S /usr/share/gconf/defaults/05_panel-default-setup.entries
输出：
gnome-panel-data: /usr/share/gconf/defaults/05_panel-default-setup.entries
要重新安装：
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-panel-data
至于“我发誓我不会再这样做了”，我们不是你的父母也不是你的老板，所以你当然可以再这样做；）一定要确保不要违反它。
如果安装失败，请尝试手动提取文件：
apt-get download gnome-panel-data
dpkg -x gnome-panel-data_*.deb gnome_panel_data_fs
sudo tee /usr/share/gconf/defaults/05_panel-default-setup.entries > /dev/null < gnome_panel_data_fs/usr/share/gconf/defaults/05_panel-default-setup.entries
并修复：
sudo apt-get -f install
答案2
可能是错的（如果是，请告诉我），但我认为--reinstall等于remove然后install。
Remove将产生如下含义的包裹状态"rc"：
软件包被删除但配置文件仍然保存
因此，install不会触碰它们。
因此，以下是我的看法：
1）您可以先尝试重命名“坏”文件（05_panel-default-setup.entries），例如：
sudo mv 05_panel-default-setup.entries 05_panel-default-setup.entries.bad
然后执行以下操作：
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-panel-data
2) 选择：
sudo apt-get purge gnome-panel-data（以便同时删除配置文件）
然后是：
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel-data
