Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS

mauron85, tried again....no luck again(

Nokia-N900-42-11:~# killall imhere-0.3
Nokia-N900-42-11:~# rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/imhere-0.3.prerm
Nokia-N900-42-11:~# rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/imhere-0.3.postinst
Nokia-N900-42-11:~# dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreg imhere-0.3
dpkg: unknown force/refuse option `remove-reinstreg'

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages[*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL)[*].

Options marked[*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !
Nokia-N900-42-11:~#

Tried to evoke the config window as well by sending the password..or is there smth else?

Ok. This is the file I have analyzed yesterday. It's pre-remove script, which is invoked just before removing the package itselft. You don't have to be a programmer to understand what's inside. Basicaly it's just check for presence of file defined in $UNINSTALL_NAME variable (the old famous /etc/init.d/imhere-0.3.uninstall file :-)

If it not exists then exit 1 - which means failure = error code(1). You already seen this error: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).
As result uninstallation will fail. If that file exists than packages should be uninstalled normaly (my case).

This was just boring introduction how deb(s) works. I don't understand why you cannot uninstall package the way I mentioned before, anyway you can try at you risk.

Code:

rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/imhere-0.3.prerm

rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/imhere-0.3.postinst

dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq imhere-0.3

Probably it would be good idea to kill process imhere-0.3 before:

Code:

killall imhere-0.3

You are genius, bro mauron85! Thanks a lot - finally got it out my device.
Wonder what's next...any news on a debugged version?
Thanks again and again)))

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS

I've noticed, this app is eating my battery very well. With this program my phone lives less then 1 day. Uninstalled only it, and my phone works more then 1.5 days with the same usage.
