SORRY, Before I comlete my mail it was sent mistakenly, I was afraid of the DISCLAIMER and therefore I tried some stuffs carefully like:
First I tried sudo apt-get install -f and then sudo dpkg --force-all -r crossplatformui to remove the package But the error was: *chan...@chandan-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --force-all -r crossplatformui (Reading database ... 180712 files and directories currently installed.) Removing crossplatformui ... ztemtvcdromd: no process found dpkg: error processing crossplatformui (--remove): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: crossplatformui* Then I Commented out the line which looks for ztemtvcdromd in the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/crossplatformui.postrm and tried again Then I was able to remove the package... The idea I got from the steps u had given above :) thanks again :) What I did has affected nothing yet and I hope I have done nothing fatal. Please let me know what I have done, if may create problem in future....
