Re: Urgent Help: courier-imap installation
When trying to remove courier-imap as follows, it won't do it and I can't
reinstall it, is there anyway to fix this?
NSLINUX:/home/admin# dpkg -r --force-all courier-imap
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
