Hi Raphaël, 1) I think that one should be able to remove Debian packages with /proc not mounted. 2) I chose to report this bug against Etch's version because not being able to remove some packages can complicate upgrade to next release. fam is not the first only with such a behavior. In the case of fam, the failure is due to /proc not being mounted. In other cases, for instance the peercast package (#489366), the failure has another origin. But the real problem is that despite the daemon is not running, the package can not be removed. Can I reopen this bug in Etch and mark it fixed in Lenny+Sid if it has been solved in these versions ?
