Ehm yes. /var/spool/news shouldn't be in the INN package; your /var/spool/news is probably on a seperate partition so rmdir /var/spool/news will always fail.. This is a bug in the INN package. I'm still working on it, though rather slowly (veeeerry slowly, sorry). > ** INN news server configuration Yep, dpkg tries do undo the purge so it probably starts the postinst script again with a special argument which the INN postinst happiliy ignores. > chown: /var/log/news/.: No such file or directory > I can't access your /etc/news/inn.conf (No such file or directory) - HELP Yes, too late.. armageddon :) > dpkg: error while cleaning up: > subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 > Errors were encountered while processing: > inn No worries, but it _is_ kind of hard to get entirely rid of all traces of INN on your system.. dpkg will keep thinking some parts are still installed.
