"E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" while purging package
Hi,
In order to make sure you people see the full picture, i'm going to slightly lengthy, please bear with me. :) I have a ZTE USB modem. It came with its dialer software for various platforms. It also had one .deb file. I copied that file to my /home and ran Code:
sudo dpkg -i CrossPlatformRelianceHSD-Ubuntui386.deb Now i tried to remove it using sudo apt-get remove --purge crossplatformui I got a message saying that removing crossplatformui required removal of various other packages including vlc, i hit yes and it removed vlc, but when it tried to remove the modem software it gave me this error. Code:
Removing crossplatformui ... List of things i've tried- sudo dpkg --force-all -P crossplatformui ran autoclean and autoremove. ran dpkg --configure -a. deleted files from /var/crash since i was also getting the message "No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already" none of them helped. :( |
Try it with
Code:
apt-get -f install |
My problem is fixed. I went to the directory
/var/lib/dpkg/status (or maybe it was info) and i saw a file that had an entry Code:
Package: crossplatformui |
