did something stupid - removed gzip

2001-02-26 Thread Jason N. Price
Okay, I just did something that, in hindsight, was very stupid. :) I have been getting a lot of errors from gzip, so I decided to apt-get remove it and then re-install it. I removed it, but I now seem unable to reinstall it because gzip is not there. Ooops. Is there any way I can fix this?
