I also seem to be having a problem with Patchmanager.

I have the latest version of Sailfish installed (1.1.6.27). I installed Warehouse from Openrepos RPM file (0.3-30) yesterday and then went on to install some apps like MeeCast, PowerMenu2, Dolphin Keyboard, etc.

Then I installed Patchmanager with some patches. Afterwards I tried to start Patchmanager, but it didn't respond (it keeps showing the loading screen with the spinning circle). I rebooted the device, still it won't start. Then I thought ok, time to retry. So, I tried to remove all the patches and the patchmanager itself, however, I get an error while trying to remove. I searched through this thread and I couldn't find that anyone had a similar problem.

The error I get is:
Code:
Status: cannot-remove-system-package
Extra details:
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.kD5ZPt: line 2: //: is a directory
error: 0x44bea0e4reun(sailfishos-gallery-zoom-0.0.3-1.armv7hl) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
error: sailfishos-gallery-zoom-0.0.3-1.armv7hl: erase failed
This error occures when trying to remove 2 patches through Warehouse: Gallery Image Zoom and Calendar Cover Upcoming. They both give exactly the same error.

So I tried to completely remove the patchmanager and patches through Terminal by following the instructions in this post by coderus. However, when trying:
Code:
pkcon remove ausmt
I get the same error (slightly differently formulated):
Code:
...
Starting
Removing packages
Resolving dependencies
Removing packages
Fatal error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.gdaLee:  line 2: //: is a directory
error: 0x457e50e4reun(sailfishos-gallery-zoom-0.0.3-1.armv7hl) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
error: sailfishos-gallery-zoom-0.0.3-1.armv7hl: erase failed
No idea what to do now. Does anyone have a clue maybe?
