Hi!
I am faced with the following problem:
prag:~# apt-get install gdm
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be upgraded
gdm

Why can't this package be unpacked? Does anybody know what's wrong with
the gdm package in Woody? How can I find it out myself?
I also tried to ged rid of gdm first before installing it by doing:
prag:~# apt-get remove gdm

Removing gdm ...
My machine seems to hang at this point. When I press ^C once, I get:
dpkg: error processing gdm (--purge):
subprocess pre-removal script killed by signal (Interrupt)
scrollkeeper-update: /usr/local/share/omf: No such file or directory
Registering /usr/share/omf/gnome-core/mailcheck_applet-no.omf
...
Errors were encountered while processing:
gdm
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
How can I cleanly deinstall this package despite of these errors?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Kind regards,
Holger
