Errors were encountered while processing:

first look in ham not fam to see if catlock is in the list and try to remove it from there otherwise use apt-get remove from what i understand apt-get autoremove is for removing unused dependencies.

It's in HAM

when I try to uninstall it, it says Unable to uninstall "catblock"

and tried remove command instead of autoremove, the same result I got.

manually edit
/var/lib/dpkg/info/catblock.prerm
and
/var/lib/dpkg/info/catblock.postinst

change the first line:
#!/bin/bash
to
#!/bin/sh

or install bash

Dear nicolai,

I installed bash4 from FSM and restarted the device

entered the below commands via the terminal

sudo gainroot

apt-get autoremove catblock

I still get the same message

What I want to know from you is, why still the problem exist although I installed bash4 not bash3 !!

I don't know, why it isn't working for you.
I tried
apt-get install bash
apt-get remove catblock

and it worked.

Anyway try the hard way from knobby.

Even I am getting the same error messages...how did u finally go about uninstalling it?

@aadityak,

Just guessing. Make sure /bin/bash actually exists.

for example, I have bash4 installed, so I have /bin/bash4. If I wanted to have /bin/bash (which apparently is required by the package you want to uninstall), you can just make a symlink.

Just installed Bash4 and then uninstalled Catblock through HAM...abs no errors popped up! :D
