Hi,
I am trying to remove a program/module. As I have probably played
around with it too often
I cannot get rid of it.
Now, whenever I try to install another program, I get the message
"texlive-lang-cyrillic: subprocess post-removal script returned error
exit status 1"
and nothing is installed.
Even when I ask synaptic to only remove that module I get the same message.
What do I have to do to remove the module?
Thanks.
Hi,
ls /var/lib/dpkg/info | grep texlive-lang-cyrillic
should give you a list off pre/post install scripts, since the message
talks about post-removal look at the script ending in ".postrm" and see
if you can find what's going wrong in the script (looking to remove
non-existent directory ?).
If you can't find what's wrong with the script you can move it aside and
purge the package again, but be aware that any necessary action which
should have been performed by the ".postrm" script will no happen,
potentially leaving unwanted stuff in your system.
Also have a look at the bugs for this package, this may already be a
known issue.
