/apt_mess.fix
Created Oct 20, 2015
| Sometimes a package f*cks up during installation and you get a broken state, potentially messing with the ability to install other software ... | |
| Example of bad install | |
| dpkg: error processing package PACKAGE (--configure): | |
| subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | |
| Errors were encountered while processing: | |
| PACKAGE | |
| E: Sub-process /usr/bin/PACKAGE returned an error code (1) | |
| Solution: | |
| Manualy uninstall and remove the dpkg state files: | |
| mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAGE.* /tmp/ | |
| dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq PACKAGE | |
| dpkg --purge PACKAGE | |
| Now you can try apt-get installing it again :-) |
