Title:
package lirc 0.9.0-0ubuntu3 failed to fully install, stop, uninstall
or anything else
Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I've been having lots of trouble with lirc since upgrading to 13.04.
When the system boots, lirc seems to freeze and also blocks other
daemons like LCDd and a few other from running. When I try to remove
lirc it freezes the process. I found that trying to stop the lirc
service also causes a freeze. I found a workaround where I could
remove the stop command from the /var/lib/dpkg/info/lirc.prerm; purge
lirc; reboot; reinstall lirc and everything worked fine unless I tried
to stop lirc by any means, including reboot. If I tried to reboot, it
would freeze. However, I'm not unable to use this workaround as I can
no longer get lirc to install properly at all. When it starts the
service just after popping up the config screen on install, it
freezes. I've had do kill dpkg which has caused some other issues
that I should be able to fix. But no matter how many times I try to
purge lirc, reboot and reinstall, I can't get it to install anymore.
I use this PC as an HTPC and need lirc support or I'm going to need to
learn a new distro, which I don't look forward to. Please help!
