Right, the problem is it wants libuim0, which was in Dapper but has been replaced by something else in Edgy. It seems the prerm script needs this, and as it's been removed, it fails. So, go to /var/lib/dpkg/info /uim-common.prerm, put exit 0 right after the comments (lines beginning with '#').
You are now able to remove uim-common and them apt-get install it again, replacing it with the updated and working version, or replace it by apt- get update-ing it. It will replace the prerm script, and I'm guessing, though I can't be sure, not excecuting the prerm script is ok so long as the package is replaced, so do this at you own risk, but it worked fine for me. -- uim-common package error during installation https://launchpad.net/bugs/64111 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
