Subject: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686: Fails to uninstall/purge. Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686 Version: 2.6.18-7 Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** I cannot get this package to uninstall/purge from the system. No matter what I do I continue to get the following error: dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.18-3-686 (--purge): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 128 Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686 I have tried reinstalling the package to attempt to get a proper install, and then trying to purge it again, with the same result. Nothing I do seems to get rid of it. Note: this error occurs only with dpkg, or with dselect as the front-end to dpkg. If I attemp "apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.18-3-686" instead, apt-get tells me the package is not installed. There's seems to be some sort of disconnect betwee the two, obviously. Nevertheless, I cannot get this out of my dselect queue since it always fails, and subsequent dselect runs just try it again and again. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-3-686 depends on: ii coreutils 5.97-5 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.85e tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.3-pre3-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-3-686 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
