Hi, After dist-upgrade I am left with the package scilab-sivp which refuses to be removed and also precludes me from installing anything else. It seems that scilab-sivp depends on sivp package, but since sivp is not installed dpkg fails. I can't either install sivp or uninstall scilab-sivp. Is there a way to forcefully remove this package? I tried dpkg with --force-all, but that didnt' help. Below is the output I get when doing apt-get remove scilab-sivp (this is not exactly what I get but similar to it - I copied it from another forum. I'm using another computer since I can't install X because of this problem).
Did anyone encounter this before? Does anyone have any suggetstions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance. $ apt-get remove scilab-sivp ... dpkg: error processing sivp (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: sivp E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
