# dpkg --force-purge menu dpkg: unknown force/refuse option `purge' I looked at the other force, but no luck: # dpkg -P remove-essential menu dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove remove-essential which isn't installed. dpkg: error processing menu (--purge): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. I most admit that i'm not too happy about randomly trying any force command. As you mention and the man-pages, it's something you should be carefull with. So any ideas how to force it completely in or out. - -- /Lars -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD/M9+SdVv6NOAbD4RAqVYAJ9Ky6j50RdepYQFlwSp8x14R9NtogCdHqGi 7jM4D3AQ2/U0mKJptjIOLUg= =qi5Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
