that BUG can't be solved by just simply upgrade I've try to upgrade(or remove) with apt-get autoremove apt-get upgrade 373 sudo apt-get install gettext 375 sudo dpkg -r --purge gettext 376 sudo dpkg -r gettext 377 sudo dpkg -r -f gettext 383 sudo dpkg --force-r gettext 384 sudo aptitude remove gettext 385 sudo apt-get remove gettext-base 386 sudo aptitude remove gettext 402 sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq gettext
the dpkg still report the same error. the BUG has gone after I del all the log of gettext with rm `locate gettext.*` ;apt-get upgrade actually I dont know what happen . 2009/3/1 Ben Crisford <webmas...@bencrisford.exofire.net> > "So to keep this updated, I had many reinstalls, so the bug got pwn'd." > > Haha, nice way of putting it. > > Glad to hear the bug is gone ;). > > -- > package gettext 0.17-3ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess > pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301522 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in “gettext” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete > > Bug description: > Binary package hint: gettext > > It won't let me uninstall gettext. > Here is what it says: > raceca...@racecar56-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get autoremove > > Reading package lists...
