Can't reinstall MongoDB on Ubuntu 17

  • 772

I uninstalled before MongoDB but now I can't install it due to this error:

dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe).

I ran this command -> sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

My terminal output is following:

    You can force installation of package:

    sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/mongodb-org-tools_3.6.2_amd64.deb

    Then resume with:

    sudo apt-get install -f
