-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everybody,
First off, let me say that I thouroughly enjoy reading this list every evening. And I will also take the opportunity to introduce myself properly: My Name is Nicolaus, and I am a dabbler in many things, but master of very few, or none. My latest undertaking is to use Debian, and abstain from commercial software. This latest undertaking is not entirely without problems. My particular problem has to do with the removal of gnome2 components.As you can see from the printout below, apt-get remove gnome2 has no apparent success. I end up with a few problems. In short: Removing file-roller2 ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/file-roller2.postrm: scrollkeeper-update: command not found dpkg: error processing file-roller2 (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127 is repeated for a few packages. the final mesage get is: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) and in all honesty, I have never seen this before, and my question would be the following: Why does this happen, and what can I do to take care of this issue? Oh, and one last thing, this problem also prevents me from installing ANY new packages on my system. Thank you all very much. /Nicolaus (aka Panicman) nicke:/home/nicke# apt-get remove gnome2 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
