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!
