Sir
I am unable to remove or purge a package which is in a very bad inconsistent state. First I tried dpkg --purge then issued the command dpkg --remove --force remove-reinstreq which also failed. When I try to do install a new package or upgrade my system, the message " E: The package ldap-account-manager needs to be reinstalled " is appearing. Even I reinstalled the above package still the error persists. Please help me.

root@rupesh:~# dpkg --remove --force remove-reinstreq ldap-account-manager
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:

Did you try reinstalling it and trying to remove it again, as suggested?

yes sir I have tried again I have failed. I have tried two to three commands. Can you please suggest a procedure how to solve my problem I mean what you know.

Hi,

this seems to be failing because it is unable to stop apache2 (which is probably triggered by the ldap-account-manager pre remove script). I'd start by looking at line 203 of your apache2.conf.
