-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Package: dpkg Version: 1.17.10
I had installed a package with broken systemd support. When I try to purge this package again, then I get # dpkg -P plxc (Reading database ... 283820 files and directories currently installed.) Removing plxc (1.0.4.140618-1) ... Failed to issue method call: Unit plxc.service not loaded. dpkg: error processing package plxc (--purge): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 5 Failed to issue method call: Unit plxc.service failed to load: Invalid argument. See system logs and 'systemctl status plxc.service' for details. Errors were encountered while processing: plxc # dpkg --force-all -P plxc (Reading database ... 283820 files and directories currently installed.) Removing plxc (1.0.4.140618-1) ... Failed to issue method call: Unit plxc.service not loaded. dpkg: error processing package plxc (--purge): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 5 Failed to issue method call: Unit plxc.service failed to load: Invalid argument. See system logs and 'systemctl status plxc.service' for details. Errors were encountered while processing: plxc The package doesn't provide a pre-removal script; it was added by debhelper. Upgrading the package to a fixed version doesn't work, either. What would you suggest to get rid of the bad package (without cheating, of course)? Is there a --force option I could use?
