[Bug 39598] Re: Unable to install and then uninstall.
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 83728 *** Marked as duplicate of bug #83728 as it contains same information and a potential fix. Removing set -e is not good solution. It solves the symptom, but not the issue. Using alternative method to test if firestarter hook is still set would probably be better. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 83728 cannot purge firestarter on Edgy -- Unable to install and then uninstall. https://launchpad.net/bugs/39598 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 39598] Re: Unable to install and then uninstall.
I just had this problem purging firestarter. These were the files left behind for me $ dpkg -L firestarter /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks /etc/firestarter /etc/firestarter/non-routables /etc/init.d/firestarter Despite the listing it seemed to have removed everything ok except for removing a line it added to /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks. I had no other lines in this file except the one added by firestarter so I just moved the file out the way and ran the purge again. This time it completely without issue. -- Unable to install and then uninstall. https://launchpad.net/bugs/39598 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 39598] Re: Unable to install and then uninstall.
I have also this bug in Edgy (firestarter version 1.0.3-1.2ubuntu3). I'm not a developper and don't know the shell language, but if one remove set -e it works indeed. I manage to make the purge work without error by leaving set -e but removing some parts of the file (seems to request to remove a file that doesn't exist in a folder that doesn't exist??). -- Unable to install and then uninstall. https://launchpad.net/bugs/39598 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can also confirm this bug on dapper (i686). BTW. Antti Koskinen's workaround works! Thank you! -- Unable to install and then uninstall. https://launchpad.net/bugs/39598 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 39598] Re: Unable to install and then uninstall.
I have the same issue on edgy and had the same on dapper (i386).

[Bug 39598] Re: Unable to install and then uninstall.
I had this same problem, too. After uninstall failed i wanted to know which files could not be deleted: $ dpkg -L firestarter /etc/firestarter /etc/firestarter/non-routables /etc/init.d/firestarter Could it be that this problem is related to the fact that firestarter puts new files (configuration for the firewall) into /etc/firestarter. And then the purging routine wants to recursively delete the directory /etc/firestarter which it can't? This would explain your success with the method above, even after reinstallation (since no new config files were created in the meantime). -- Unable to install and then uninstall. https://launchpad.net/bugs/39598 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
