** Description changed:
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
1. Install virtualbox-ose (2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu1)
2. Install virtualbox-2.0 (2.0.4-38406_Ubuntu_intrepid) from
download.virtualbox.org intrepid main
virtualbox-ose is now removed
3. Purge virtualbox-ose
error message appears
- The errors are follow:
+ ERROR:
(Reading database ... 110951 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing virtualbox-ose ...
Purging configuration files for virtualbox-ose ...
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
dpkg: error processing virtualbox-ose (--purge):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
virtualbox-ose
+
+ WORKAROUND:
+ As a quick and dirty workaround open /var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-ose.postrm
as root in your favorite editor and insert a # at the beginning of the lines
+ if [ "$1" = "purge" ] ; then
+ update-rc.d vboxdrv remove >/dev/null || exit $?
+ fi
+
+ So they should become
+ # if [ "$1" = "purge" ] ; then
+ # update-rc.d vboxdrv remove >/dev/null || exit $?
+ # fi
+
