Package: Zoneminder
Version: 1.26.4-dmo1
Zoneminder wouldn't install. (State is "rH"). I attempted to remove
it but this also failed.
I traced the error to use of an invalid parameter passed to the postrn
script. The invalid value is "remove" but the script can't handle
that value; it only handles "purge".
Any attempt I might make to correct it would be a guess (such as
setting the parameter value to "purge" in the script). Rather than
chance complications, I'm reporting and asking for direction.
Here's the error:
... irrelevant output omitted
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 10.2 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

(I'm interested in maintaining the package if someone is willing to
serve as a mentor.)
