Hi all, I've never been good to fix packages that break down at install (I'm not blaming maintainers for the packages, btw... I guess I'm responsible for the mess here).
Here's what happened : ----- helsinki:~# apt-get dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Calculating Upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 2 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y Setting up guile-1.6 (1.6.7-1) ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error dpkg: error processing guile-1.6 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libgwrapguile1: libgwrapguile1 depends on guile-1.6; however: Package guile-1.6 is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing libgwrapguile1 (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: guile-1.6 libgwrapguile1 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) --- How do I get out of the "Exec format error" ? On a related topic : is there a way to make apt "forget" a package, and/or completely purge it from the disk, its installed packages list, etc ? Just so I'd be able to reinstall it or a newer version sometime later ? Thanks, Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
