Did this. And got this: dpkg: need an action option Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use dselect for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Type dpkg --licence for copyright licence and lack of warranty (GNU GPL) [*]. Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' ! ... which is weird, yes? Because I GAVE it an action option. I typed it 'zackly. Have no whuskey in th' house. I tried typing some of those 'force' options before posting, too, and got similar messages. > That should wipe it clean off. If not, drink > more whiskey or other beverage of choice. If I had some Old Bushmills here and didn't have to go to work in the morning, you bet I would. Phew. Why why why.
