Some history and some progress:
After the first install of netsaint failed, I tried to install apache,
which also broke. I tried to apt-get remove both, but that also failed
("Package apache is not installed, so not removed") Attempting to
removing netsaint gave : "dpkg: error processing netsaint (--remove):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal."
In an attempt to get rid of messages about a missing /etc/init.d/apache
that I got when trying to remove netsaint, I,(guilty feelings here), did
a mkdir apache in init.d but left the directory empty The messages
changed but did not go away.
Now I have removed the init.d/apache directory and replaced it with an
executable but empty file called apache. Then I did an apt-get install
of netsaint again, with some success. Lots of dependencies were
installed, but in the end I got the messages:
Errors were encountered while processing:
netsaint
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I then tried another update/upgrade, and got these messages, which at
least are new:
Setting up netsaint (0.0.7c-0.3) ...
htpasswd: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.2: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing netsaint (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
So libdb.so.2 is the problem now? Or might I now remove netsaint and/or
apache - they seem to depend on each other.?
