I am having the same problems as the bugs: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=213325 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=214808
Which means that I am uninstall nedit. When I try to using dpkg or apt-get (I even tried "synaptic"!); I get the following error which is identical to bug reports:
=================apt-get remove --purge nedit ========================= (Reading database ... 114497 files and directories currently installed.) Removing nedit ... update-alternatives: --slave only allowed with --install

dpkg: error processing nedit (--purge):

Errors were encountered while processing:
nedit
======================================================================I couldn't find the link for nedit in the "editor" alternative when I tried to remove nedit manually. ("update-alternatives --remove ...."
At the very least, I should be able to uninstall a program that I don't want! Anyone have any ideas? Both bugs are still open.
