gzip dpkg error
I was trying to perform maintance to a system recently but as you will see
below I was not successful.
For some reason I am unable to do anything to the /bin/gzip file in the
system (delete, move, whatever). I even tried a chattr to clear any flags
that might prevent its deletion, with no success.
Any help would be greatly welcomed.
