problem in Synaptic package manager in UBUNTU 10.04
Hi..
Whenever I start Synaptic package manager it shows some changes to apply and when I click apply it shows error E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.1_5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1. And then whole application exit. please help. |
Just read the error. It tells you what you need to do.
subprocess pre-removal script returned error This means a script is getting in your way, this pre/post install scripts are stored in /var/lib/dpkg/info. You can find the scripts related to a specific package with : ls /var/lib/dpkg/info | grep "package" where "package" is the name of the program you want to remove (without brackets). In your case it is Quote:
So google how to remove something using apt-get commands and learn how to remove mysql-server-5.1 |
According to article http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/251 I should not edit .ist or .md5sums scripts.But I found these two files only.
Code:
aduait@aduait-laptop:~$ ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-client-5.1.* |

#!/bin/sh I did not want to post a removal command in my last post as I did not want to post erroneous info. That was why I pointed you to what the error message said and what it means. I try to help a user find their way and use Linux. I won;t hold their hand and have them say I broke their install. You can add a Comment (#) in front of set -e and try sysnaptic again.
