Hello,
I have a package that I can't remove. I can remove
and install other packages but this one isn't co-operating.
I have been reading the archived messages and found one
that mentions this problem but the link for the original post comes up as a 404
page not found.
What I was doing was installing proftpd with mysql
support. I downloaded the file and tried to install it with the dpkg
program and it said it needed a dependency. I installed the other
dependency (proftpd-common) but dpkg said that it couldn't complete the install
because I didn't configure the proftpd-mysql. I ran configure on the mysql
one and it came back and said I didn't run config on it's dependency. I
ran config on the other file but it still would not install the mysql enabled
proftpd. I remove/purged the proftpd-common and then tried to remove/purge
the proftpd-mysql and it gives the following error:
titan:~# dpkg --remove proftpd-mysql
(Reading database ... 16252 files and directories currently installed.) Removing proftpd-mysql ... dpkg: error processing proftpd-mysql (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 10 Errors were encountered while processing: proftpd-mysql When I try to install proftpd-common it says that
