So I go to update stuff on my unstable system today, using aptitude, and I see that midentd has an update. I find this odd because I don't remember ever installing it, but okay ... there's a lot of stuff I don't remember installing. Go.
I get the following: Errors were encountered while processing: midentd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover: Setting up midentd (2.3.1-1) ... An override for "/var/run/identd" already exists, aborting dpkg: error processing midentd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3 Errors were encountered while processing: midentd Press return to continue. So I go back into aptitude and discover that nothing I have installed actually cares about midentd. I choose to purge. Same message, except with a reference to purging instead of installing. Okay. So then I go to the bug list, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=midentd There certainly seem to be some relevant entries, but none of the outstanding ones are less than 2 years old. Hrm. How do I purge this from my system when there's seemingly a bug (or two or three) in the scripts? -- monique Unless you need to share ultra-sensitive super-spy stuff with me, please don't email me directly.
