I tried to install a couple of the infocom-type games from hamm without luck. The packages in question are xzip, gsn-jigsaw, and weather.
Dpkg gives me error messages that there is no "old pre-removal script" and that the new package (there's been an update since I first installed them) doesn't contain one either. When I try to purge these packages with dpkg, I get the error of "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal." Nice, but with the default dpkg options I can't reinstall it. In such a scenario, what is the safest/best method to uninstall these packages? -- Regards, |Debian GNU/__ o http://www.debian.org . | / / __ _ _ _ _ __ __ Randy | / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | /____/ /_/ /_/\/ /___/ /_/\_\ | ...because lockups are for convicts... |What is or why Linux?
