OK, at least I was able to remove xprt and xprt-common. Now I'm in such a situation: I'm trying to upgrade aptitude but it has trouble removing nvidia-glx package: ... Removing nvidia-glx ... dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2' with different file `/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa', not allowed dpkg: error processing nvidia-glx (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: nvidia-glx E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: # I have tried: # dpkg --purge nvidia-glx (Reading database ... 128204 files and directories currently installed.)
