Well after the security update of cacti, I am still stuck with cacti half-installed and unable to remove it: bunbun:~# dpkg -P cacti (Reading database ... 29204 files and directories currently installed.) Removing cacti ... Purging configuration files for cacti ... ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'loop@localhost' (Using password: YES) dpkg: error processing cacti (--purge): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: cacti I have purged the mysql-server stuff and removed the databases (I selected this option when installing mysql-server) and re-installed all the cacti and mysql-server dependencies but I'm still getting the same error.
