--- Begin Message ---Package: Zoneminder Version: 1.26.4-dmo1 Zoneminder wouldn't install. (State is "rH"). I attempted to remove it but this also failed. I traced the error to use of an invalid parameter passed to the postrn script. The invalid value is "remove" but the script can't handle that value; it only handles "purge". Any attempt I might make to correct it would be a guess (such as setting the parameter value to "purge" in the script). Rather than chance complications, I'm reporting and asking for direction. Here's the error: ... irrelevant output omitted 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed.
