Hi all
How do I remove or tell Debina that I dont have a package installed?
Last week I installed (sort of) libapache-mod-security
There were probs at the configure stage as the package has install bugs so I
wish to get rif of it.
I tried to remove it but the post remove script failed so I probably don't have
the package installed:
$ dpkg -L libapache-mod-security
Package `libapache-mod-security' does not contain any files (!)
$
But when I go to upgrade it thinks the package is still there.
~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libapache-mod-security: Depends: mod-security-common (= 1.8.7-1) but it is not
installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
Here is where I try to remove it:
$ sudo apt-get --purge remove libapache-mod-security
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libapache-mod-security*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 52 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 123kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
