I am following unstable and currently have a problem with 9menu_1.4-10_i386.deb. It will neither upgrade with apt nor allow itself to be removed with either apt or dpkg.
I get this message: dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute old pre-removal script: Exec format error dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute new pre-removal script: Exec format error dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/9menu_1.4-10_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format errordpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/9menu_1.4-10_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I can't re-install the old version, nor the new one. I don't actually need 9menu any more so would like to simply blitz it altogether. Any ideas how I can get rid of it? It is causing a blockage so that whatever I now do with apt-get it rears its ugly head. Cheers.
