Public bug reported:
I have used the following Lucid deb packages in various versions of Mint and
ubuntu, and never had the need to uninstall them.
sudo dpkg -i libcrystalhd_3.6.0~lucid1_i386.de
sudo dpkg -i libcrystalhd-dev_3.6.0~lucid1_i386.deb
crystalhd-firmware_3.6.0~lucid1_i386.deb
I tried to install them on XBMCBuntu Frodo Beta (Ubuntu 12.04), and for the
most part they did not suit my needs, as the kernel module did not install..
The debs below were installed as this is from dpkg --list
crystalhd-firmware 3.6.0~lucid1
<firmware for crystalhd>
libcrystalhd 3.6.0~lucid1
<library for crystalhd>
libcrystalhd-dev 3.6.0~lucid1
<header files for libcrystalhd>
Now when I go to remove it I get
sudo dpkg --remove crystalhd*
dpkg: error: package name in specifier
'crystalhd-firmware_3.6.0~lucid1_i386.deb' is illegal: character `~' not
allowed (only letters, digits and characters `-+._')
Why then does it allow it to be installed but not removed?
