I'm doing some development (experimenting) with debian, and when I try the following:
dpkg --root=/dos/linux --purge --force-remove-essential e2fsprogs I get the following errors: Removing e2fsprogs ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-removal script: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing e2fsprogs (--purge): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2 dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: No such file or directory dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: e2fsprogs I can do a 'chroot /dos/linux /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fsprogs.postrm' without any problems, so I can only assume that there is something wrong with the chroot environment created by dpkg when it tries to execute the script. Any ideas what may be going on? Should I file this as a bug report against dpkg? -- Scott Barker Linux Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cuug.ab.ca:8001/~barkers/ (under construction) [ I try to reply to all e-mail within 3 days.
