Re: help needed to remove samba
So, try what it suggest - apt-get --reinstall samba, then try removing...
If that doesn't help, I'm afraid that samba post-uninstall scripts are sadly broken (at least, vs Your device), and You'll need to manually find and delete remaining files/configs/whatsnot. |
Re: help needed to remove samba
Code:
dpkg --configure samba |

Here You go (see attament).
Keep in mind that asking 3 times in row, wasn't going to help, and may only scarry out more experienced people, from this thread. Still, I doesn't see how this may help You. |

Re: help needed to remove samba
Man, it's been a long time since I've posted here...
Although it's probably a bit too late to mention this now, judging from what dpkg was telling you, Code:
Removing samba ... Has anyone else had such problems? |
Re: help needed to remove samba

Yep, I still have such problems ... Code:
root @ n900 : ~ # apt-get remove sambaIsn't there any chance to fix that error? Hopefully there is one :-( Any solutions mentioned in this thread so far failed horribly ... Regards hringriin |
Re: help needed to remove samba
@hringriin,
Can you post the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.postrm? That script may need to be adapted to work, or just removed if not necessary. |
Re: help needed to remove samba
Hi,
I faced the same problem yesterday. Samba was marked as partly installed, reinstall is needed to be able to remove. It wanted to install update-inetd package, but it had some conflicts with an already installed package "netbase", both of them have /usr/sbin/update-inetd in them and this made the problem: samba wanted to use update-inetd as prerequisite, which does not want to be installed due to conflict -> samba package partly installed, reinstall needed... Vicious circle. Solution: 1. I have removed the ^M from the end of the lines with vi in /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.postrm 2. searched for samba in /var/lib/dpkg/status 3. changed its Status: row to: Status: install ok installed Then "dpkg -P samba" did its job and removed the package successfully. I hope it helps you as well. |

Thank you. I have had this problem with samba-common for a while now, and your solution worked perfectly. Best wishes. |
