Re: upgrade preload fails
Hi
I have experienced such difficulties and solved them by editing
/var/lib/dpkg/status
by hand. It is easy to see how it should look like. But copy the file before
changing it and only remove this single package with dpkg afterwards to see
if you have succeeded. You have been warned!
