Package: dibbler-client Version: 0.7.1-2 Severity: normal after having deinstalled the package from whitin dselect other packages complains of finding in /etc/inet.d an unused script. then i tried to purge completely the unused package but this was the resut: ************** wip:~# dpkg --purge dibbler-client (Reading database ... 186655 files and directories currently installed.) Removing dibbler-client ... Stopping DHCPv6 client: invoke-rc.d: initscript dibbler-client, action "stop" failed. dpkg: error processing dibbler-client (--purge): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: dibbler-client **************
of course it cannot stop a process that has not been started, and while this error on other packages (say apache2 ...) can be "fixed" by starting the package and then letting the script to stop; in this case, having deinstalled it is not possible -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dibbler-client depends on: ii debconf 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.3-3 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.4.3-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii ucf 3.0025 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages dibbler-client recommends: ii dibbler-doc 0.7.3-0.1 documentation for Dibbler dibbler-client suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * dibbler-client/start: false dibbler-client/title: * dibbler-client/options: dns, domain * dibbler-client/interfaces: eth0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
