Hi, Today's dictionaries-common upgrade broke, so I'd like to get back to a sane state and try it again. Currently the package is half-configured:
$ dpkg-query -l dictionaries-common Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-======================-======================-============================================================ rF dictionaries-common 1.5.17 Common utilities for spelling dictionary tools So I try to remove it: # dpkg -B --remove dictionaries-common dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of dictionaries-common: aspell depends on dictionaries-common (>> 0.40). ispell depends on dictionaries-common. myspell-en-us depends on dictionaries-common (>= 0.10) | openoffice.org-updatedicts; however: Package dictionaries-common is to be removed. Package openoffice.org-updatedicts is not installed. Package dictionaries-common which provides openoffice.org-updatedicts is to be removed. ienglish-common depends on dictionaries-common (>= 1.10.4~). myspell-en-us depends on dictionaries-common (>= 0.10) | openoffice.org-updatedicts; however: Package dictionaries-common is to be removed. Package openoffice.org-updatedicts is not installed. Package dictionaries-common which provides openoffice.org-updatedicts is to be removed. dpkg: error processing dictionaries-common (--remove): dependency problems - not removing Errors were encountered while processing: dictionaries-common I would have expected -B to cause those packages to be deconfigured. Now I try to do it explicitly: # dpkg --deconfigure aspell dpkg: error: unknown option --deconfigure Ah, right; that doesn't exist. This is with dpkg master. Ideas?
