Re: webmin problem
When I dpkg -P webmin, I get:
dpkg -P webmin
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of webmin:
webmin-raid depends on webmin.
webmin-core depends on webmin.
dpkg: error processing webmin (--purge):
dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
webmin
When I dpkg -P webmin-raid it says it depends on webmin-core ad then
fails. When I dpkg webmin-core is says it depends on webmin-raid and
then fails.
I wish I understood this better. It is frustrating to have something
installed that doesn't work and then even more frustrating to be unable
to uninstall it.
I any other ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thx
