--- Begin Message ---Package: zsh-common Version: 5.0.7-4 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 3.5 Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Attempting to install zsh * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? aptitude install zsh, which lead to packages being in the 'half' installed state. Attempting to purge was unsucessful. Had to resort to dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq zsh zsh-common to resolve the issue. * What was the outcome of this action? I'm not able to install zsh * What outcome did you expect instead? Being able to install zsh :) -- Install Log: # aptitude install zsh The following NEW packages will be installed: zsh zsh-common{a} 0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 361 not upgraded.
