lines entered:

Root shell enabled
/home/user # sed-i's/bash/sh'/var/lib/dpkg/info/freeciv*inst
[enter]
/bin/sh: sed-is/bash/sh/var/lib/dpkg/info/freeciv*inst: not found
/home/user #
(Also tried)
/home/user # apt-get install bash
[enter]
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: The package freeciv-client-sdl needs to be reinstalled, but i can't find an archive for it.
(ExtrasDev and ExtrasTesting both enabled and wifi connected)
Any suggestions? Thanks

Code:
sed -i 's/bash/sh/' /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeciv*inst
You could also try this:
Code:
dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq freeciv-client-sdl

(well, I went overkill, but that should be fine, too.)Code:sed -i 's/bash/sh/' /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeciv*inst
You could also try this:
Code:dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq freeciv-client-sdl
Hey, the first time i tried, i entered the command with the spaces and it executed without error, but then i tried to uninstall using the app manager and the uninstallation failed.
I just tried again, typed the command perfectly with spaces and now the responce is:
sed: unmatched '/'
I have tripple checked and there was no typos.
Cheers

Tried the forced removal:
(i'm not going to type it all, but here are the important bits)
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Removing freeciv-client-sdl ...
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-removal script: No such file or directory
Hope this helps too

I am guessing that the game's files and folders have been removed? But the App Manager still thinks its installed. As in somewhere between the pre-removal scrips and the post removal scrips an error has occured? this all coming from a newby btw.

If that is the case, you *should* be able to remove things with...
... but if the files are still there, you'd need to manually delete the files after.
Code:
sudo gainroot mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeciv* /tmp/ dpkg --remove --force-depends --force-remove-reinstreq freeciv freeciv-client-sdl freeciv-server freeciv-data

I got several serious warnings, I think most of the packages were missing. The good news is that freeciv has now gone from the list of installed apps in app manager. I feel fairly confident that the files are gone, but i shall have a look when i figure out how to view the root dir. There is an app in extras dev that will generate a list of all installed packages and their file sizes etc, when this gets promoted to extras testing, i can check to see if any freeciv packages remain, which i doubt they will. Thanks...

still have the problem, that i can not uninstall freeciv
can someone just write a step by step guide how to do the quoted, which commands exactly and so on...i am really not familiar with console based text editors
thx!

Also, is anyone using the version of freeciv currently in extras-devel? I have been using it and it seems stable enough to promote, but am not sure I should.
For possible future development, my thoughts were a "close" button in the top right, the task switch button on the title screen as well as during gameplay, and possibly a button to toggle "clicking" so you could get tooltip help for a button before triggering it... anyone have other ideas on this? It isn't a hildonized app since it's SDL, but it plays pretty well with the stylus.
