Hi ! I have the following problem.
I once installed potato on an old pentium-machine and then didn't use it for a year or so. Now I d like to use it again and tried to update to WOODY (before there was nothing really important on the machine), so I just pointed apt in sources.list to the testing-url. Then I started the update with dselect. Download of all files/packages worked fine! :-) BUT: During the installation-process with dselect it run into the following error: Removing gnome-games /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-games.postrm: scrollkeeper-update: command not found dpkg: error processing gnome-games (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127 errors were encountered while processing: gnome-games dpkg --remove returned error exit status 1. press enter to continue. So,the thing is that I cannot continue/finish the installation process because any retry runs in the same error-message. I had a look in the man page of dpkg and tried some manual error fixing like: dpkg --force-reinstreq gnome-games or dpkg -purge gnome-games but I always got the same error messages the dpkg --status gnome-games command shows the output you can see in the inclosed attachment-textfile. Is it a good idea to just erase all files in the /var/cache directories and restart the whole installation process from scratch or is there some nicer way to fix the problem? any help and hints really appreciated, because it is impossible for me at the moment to finish the installation due to the cercle vicieux. thx in advance, Richard PS: please use my email-adress in the CC-line as I am not subscribed to the mailing list at the moment. ------------------------------------------------------ Mag.
