[Bug 149836] Re: cannot purge config files for linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic
This is a result of using dpkg (or apt-get) for command line package management instead of aptitude, which is the upstream recommended command line package manager. Neither dpkg and apt-get handle dependencies nearly as gracefully as aptitude. Dpkg was never intended to do so. Apt-get does have better dependency handling, but aptitude was written in part to significantly improve dependency handling over apt- get. Synaptic by default uses apt-get, in part because of the installed base of machines that have exclusively used apt-get in the past. (IMHO, it's time to fix Synaptic.) The upstream Debian Manual is recommending that everyone switch to aptitude. (For a more complete analysis, see Larry Garfield's excellent article at http://www.garfieldtech.com/blog /your-debian-aptitude But I digress. To fix your issue, try the following: 1. Become root, update aptitude, and sync dpkg and apt: code [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/~# sudo -s Password: [yourpasswordhere] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /~# aptitude update [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /~# sync-available /code 2. Reinstall linux-image-2.6.22-12-generic and linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic: code [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /~# aptitude install linux-image-2.6.22-12-generic linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic /code You will need to read carefully the messages from aptitude, which provides much more helpful information that you are probably accustomed to using dpkg or apt-get. Aptitude will try to identify and solve dependency problems with your installation. If you have been using dpkg and/or apt-get on a machine for a while, you will likely have some, so ensure that you understand what it's doing. 3. Then purge both: code [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /~# aptitude purge linux-image-2.6.22-12-generic linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic /code Again, read the screen. In this case, there will likely be some dependencies that need fixing. Aptitude will suggest solutions. Read and think about the choices it gives you. If you don't like the choice suggested, tell it and it will try to come up with another. 4. After you are done, EXIT ROOT and the terminal: code [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /~# exit [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/~# exit /code Report back on if this fixes your issues. -- cannot purge config files for linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Aptitude has a big failure, sometimes mark for autoremoval many packages that was installed by other package managers Not exactly. Aptitude doesn't autoremove anything. In command-line mode, aptitude holds the packages, but tells the user about them. In full screen mode, aptitude marks for removal packages that don't have dependencies set correctly in the database and presents the list to the user before doing anything. The behavior you allude to is not a failure, it's what should happen upon migration to aptitude and it's yet another reason to use aptitude. Aptitude keeps kruft out of the installed package list, something apt-get doesn't do. If the machine always uses aptitude, the issue never arises because aptitude doesn't allow kruft to accumulate. If you've used apt-get and/or dpkg extensively, you will inevitably have accumulated kruft because apt-get doesn't keep track of the installed packages very well. By default, aptitude dutifully tries to clean up after her older sister apt-get. So it presents a list of packages that don't have the proper dependencies specified in the database for possible removal. It's easy to keep them all, of course. Simply navigate to heading at the top of the list for removal and hit the plus (+) key. If you _want_ to keep accumulating kruft and orphaned dependencies in the manner of apt-get, you simply change the setting in aptitude (either in the full screen mode menu or in the configuration file) and she will happily do what you want. Some folks have suggested keeping apt-get and installing deborphan to fix the orphaned packages issue. However, that actually swings too far in the other direction, because deborphan really does autoremove the packages and provides much less information to the user. and uninstall without user wants do it. Aptitude won't uninstall anything without the user's approval. It presents the list and allows the user to decide. Calling aptitude's intelligent dependency handling a failure and using that as a reason to keep apt-get simply perpetuates a bad situation. We would all be better off by deprecating apt-get as Debian has recommended and using aptitude consistently from the beginning. Eventually, we will be forced to anyway because apt-get will eventually be retired upstream. Again, I refer the reader to Larry Garfield's article and the comments to it, where this issue is fully discussed. http://www.garfieldtech.com/blog/your-debian-aptitude Happy Trails, Loye Young Isaac Young Computer Company Laredo, Texas http://www.iycc.biz -- cannot purge config files for linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 149836] Re: cannot purge config files for linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic
UPDATE: It appears that Daniel Burrows (the author of aptitude) has figured out a way to infer the correct dependencies of packages installed with legacy package managers (e.g., apt-get). Consequently, aptitude does not keep a separate database anymore. The effect of the changes (since v. 4.5.1 released June 15, 2007) is that aptitude does not list for removal packages intentionally installed via apt-get, effectively removing EagleScreen's objection to aptitude.

[Bug 149836] Re: cannot purge config files for linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic
I reckon this error happens when corresponding linux-image package has been removed before linux-ubuntu-modules is purged. linux-ubuntu-modules .postrm shouldn't be doing depmod or update-initramfs anymore in this case. You can probably workaround this issue by manually creating /lib/modules/2.6.22-12-generic directory and then trying to purge linux- ubuntu-modules. ** Changed in: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium Status: New = Confirmed -- cannot purge config files for linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
