I'm installed rootsh because the required need, when I wanted to uninstall jumped a message from "Can not delete application" is there some other way to get rid of it?


I can not even install again

Ok, /var/lib/dpkg/info/rootsh.prerm is malformed. The if statement line must end with "; then"...
Once solved this it removes normally

heh I didn't notice that post
heres what mine looks like

Code:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/gainroot.old ]
     mv /usr/sbin/gainroot.old /usr/sbin/gainroot
fi


I think it should look like this


Code:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/gainroot.old ]
then    
  mv /usr/sbin/gainroot.old /usr/sbin/gainroot
fi

That's it! And it should be:

Code:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/gainroot.old ] ; then
     mv /usr/sbin/gainroot.old /usr/sbin/gainroot
fi

I think that the simplest way should be copying this:
Code:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/gainroot.old ] ; then
     mv /usr/sbin/gainroot.old /usr/sbin/gainroot
fi
to a new file called rootsh.prerm
(I suppose that doing this with your computer would be simpler)
Now copy it to your N900 and enter this on your terminal (as root):
Code:
mv ./MyDocs/rootsh.prerm /var/lib/dpkg/info/rootsh.prerm
I don't know if it's simple enough.
