As in this case the problem is in the tspc package I'm reassigning, also because there's already bug 8639 filed against dpkg. The normal way to fix this kind of problem is to upgrade to a fixed version and then remove the package, it might seem counterintuitive, but it's the only way to guarantee a clean and proper removal of packages. > Greetings > Juergen > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: 5.0.3 > APT prefers oldstable > APT policy: (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable') > Architecture: i386 (i586) > > Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-486 > Locale: lang=de...@euro, lc_ctype=de...@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash > > Versions of packages dpkg depends on: > ii coreutils 6.10-6 The GNU core utilities > ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries > ii lzma 4.43-14 Compression method of 7z > format in > > dpkg recommends no packages. > > Versions of packages dpkg suggests: > ii apt 0.7.20.2+lenny1 Advanced front-end for dpkg > > -- no debconf information regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
