I got a little problem with the "bwnfsd" package. I tried to find support both in IRC and on the web, but nothing to do, so I decided to mail to the mailing list Well my problem is this: I installed some time ago the package "bwnfsd", I searched something to bring up NFSD on my Debian box, I installed nfs-server and nfs-commmon too. I used the apt-get tool and the testing woody archive: >> apt-get install bwnfsd Only after I've installed "bwnfsd" i saw that it was not the software I was looking for. So I decided to deinstall "bwnfsd" with the same tool I installed it: >> apt-get remove bwnfsd but'when I try to deinstall "bwnfsd" both with "apt-get remove" and "dpkg --purge" I get always this error: * I supose it's given through the "pre|post|* script * of the package "bwnfsd" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The following packages will be REMOVED: bwnfsd 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 127kB will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y (Reading database ... 29996 files and directories currently installed.) Removing bwnfsd ... Stopping BWNFS daemon: dpkg: error processing bwnfsd (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Starting BWNFS daemon: clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255 Errors were encountered while processing: bwnfsd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- As it seems "bwnfsd" cannot register itself onto portmap, in any case portmap is running. My real problem is that "bwnfsd" is set to remove state in my debian packaging database and I can't do any dpkg-operation without getting this error. How can I definetly remove "bwnfsd", or anyway how can I register it correctly to my portmap so I don't get this error anymore and can remove in the right way the package ?
