I was trying to perform maintance to a system recently but as you will see below I was not successful. For some reason I am unable to do anything to the /bin/gzip file in the system (delete, move, whatever). I even tried a chattr to clear any flags that might prevent its deletion, with no success.
Any help would be greatly welcomed. fireball:~# apt-get upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
