Hello, I installed vrfydmn and tuptime, but they failed to configure. I don't have to have them, so I decided to remove them, but I cannot uninstall them either. I tried with apt and with dpkg --force-all.
A log is included below. If someone could tell me how to tell the system that they're not installed, I could remove them by hand. Or maybe you have an idea how to uninstall them. Thanks! # dpkg --purge --force-all vrfydmn tuptime (Reading database ... 2636897 files and directories currently installed.)
