uninstall "bwnfsd" package error
I got a little problem with the "bwnfsd" package.
I tried to find support both in IRC and on the web, but nothing to do,
so I decided to mail to the mailing list
Well my problem is this:
I installed some time ago the package "bwnfsd", I searched something
to bring up NFSD on my Debian box, I installed nfs-server and
nfs-commmon too. I used the apt-get tool and the testing woody archive:
>> apt-get install bwnfsd
Only after I've installed "bwnfsd" i saw that it was not the software I
was looking for.
So I decided to deinstall "bwnfsd" with the same tool I installed it:
>> apt-get remove bwnfsd
but'when I try to deinstall "bwnfsd" both with "apt-get remove"
and "dpkg --purge" I get always this error:
* I supose it's given through the "pre|post|* script
* of the package "bwnfsd"

Removing bwnfsd ...
Stopping BWNFS daemon: dpkg: error processing bwnfsd (--remove):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As it seems "bwnfsd" cannot register itself onto portmap,
in any case portmap is running.
My real problem is that "bwnfsd" is set to remove state in my debian
packaging database and I can't do any dpkg-operation without getting
this error.
How can I definetly remove "bwnfsd", or anyway how can I register
it correctly to my portmap so I don't get this error anymore and
can remove in the right way the package ?
Thank you for support,
Greetings,
Ivo
