How can I get rid of dpkg apt-get errors?
I kinda broke gnome by installing the latest 2.10 packages from expiermental repo, upon trying to uninstall it I got the following error.
No matter what I do in apt it hangs on these errors, I was wondering how I can clear these out of apt? I've tried apt-get -f install and a few others. Nothing i've tried has worked yet. root@257[archives]# apt-get --purge remove gnome Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

Hi,
I googled and found a couple of things that may, or may not, help. Use them at your own risk. First try 'dpkg --purge <offending package>'. or 'dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq <offending package>'. I hope it helps. Steve |
