Hi Everybody,
First off, let me say that I thouroughly enjoy reading this list every
evening. And I will also take the opportunity to introduce myself properly:
My Name is Nicolaus, and I am a dabbler in many things, but master of very
few, or none.
My latest undertaking is to use Debian, and abstain from commercial software.
This latest undertaking is not entirely without problems.
My particular problem has to do with the removal of gnome2 components.As you
can see from the printout below, apt-get remove gnome2 has no apparent
success.
I end up with a few problems.
In short:
Removing file-roller2 ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/file-roller2.postrm: scrollkeeper-update: command not found
dpkg: error processing file-roller2 (--remove):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127
is repeated for a few packages.
the final mesage get is:
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
and in all honesty, I have never seen this before, and my question would be
the following:
Why does this happen, and what can I do to take care of this issue?
Oh, and one last thing, this problem also prevents me from installing ANY new
packages on my system.
Thank you all very much.
