Please always run LANG=C <command> e.g. LANG=C apt purge gnash or sudo LANG=C synaptic and always mention what release and flavour you are using, e.g. run lsb_release -rc and if required inform us if this is e.g. lubuntu, ubuntu-mate or another flavour. Also consider to sent such a request to the users mailing list. >> is the information i got by >> trying uninstall gnash-common/gnash may i need only a valid apt-key >> for reinstall gnash correct bevore uninstalling again > >How exactly are you trying to install it? I can't confirm this bug, but seemingly some people suffer from this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/1543280 [1] Please post the output of getent passwd _apt here it looks like this [root@moonstudio ~]# getent passwd _apt _apt:x:113:65534::/nonexistent:/bin/false You can run this as user, I run as root, because I run it in a container, without booting (systemd-nspawn -qD /mnt/moonstudio). Regards, Ralf [1] Running cat /etc/passwd | grep apt is disgusting, this should read grep apt /etc/passwd or getent passwd _apt even when first using cat /etc/passwd we could then type ^cat^grep apt and enter, to replace "cat" with "grep apt" -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
