Unable to uninstall package

[Chandan Prasad Gupta]

One of the package is disturbing in installation of modem which I need for my  internet connection.

the error shown is :

E: crossplatformui: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid/partner Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_partner_binary-i386_Packages)


any other way to completely remove this package??

Well this is only for experts and read it completely before you start. This is like, reverse-engineering the Debian package management.

It seems that the package, you are having problem with, is crossplatformui. so:
 - Backup the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/crossplatformui.postrm
 - Edit the file  /var/lib/dpkg/info/crossplatformui.postrm and insert "exit 0" soon after the shebang line.
 - Run sudo apt-get -f --purge remove
 - Perform all the steps (run/debug the backup file) that the postrm file was meant to do if you really want to clean up the package.
- Move on..

Hi bro,

I was afraid with the DISCLAIMER,

[Chandan Prasad Gupta]

SORRY,
Before I comlete my mail it was sent mistakenly,

I was afraid of the DISCLAIMER and therefore I tried some stuffs carefully like:

First I tried
sudo apt-get install -f
and then
sudo dpkg --force-all -r crossplatformui
to remove the package

But the error was:

chandan@chandan-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --force-all -r crossplatformui
(Reading database ... 180712 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing crossplatformui ...
ztemtvcdromd: no process found
dpkg: error processing crossplatformui (--remove):

 subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

Errors were encountered while processing:
crossplatformui

Then I Commented out the line which looks for ztemtvcdromd in the file
/var/lib/dpkg/info/crossplatformui.postrm and tried again

Then I was able to remove the package...

The idea I got from the steps u had given above :)
thanks again :)

What I did has affected nothing yet and I hope I have done nothing fatal.
Please let me know what I have done, if may create problem in future....


Thanks,
~chandan

I was afraid of the DISCLAIMER and therefore I tried some stuffs carefully like:

I am unaware of dependencies on the package "crossplatformui", thus the disclaimer. Nevermind, this goes out for every software that you use -- for instance checkout Limitation of Liability in GPL .

First I tried
sudo apt-get install -f
and then
sudo dpkg --force-all -r crossplatformui
to remove the package

But the error was:

chandan@chandan-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --force-all -r crossplatformui

ztemtvcdromd: no process found

Congrats you've done it. And it seems safe from what you have described.
