Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
I was attempting to remove my running kernel (I already have a new one
installed and ready to go). Usually a question pops up asking if I am
sure I want to do this. with linux-image-2.6.20-6-generic, there was no
such question:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-2.6.20-6-generic(Reading
database ... 179406 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing linux-image-2.6.20-6-generic ...
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.20-6-generic (--purge):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-2.6.20-6-generic
I manually removed the "exit 1" from the following block and sucessfully
removed the package.
if ($answer =~ /^(y|t)/i) {
exit 1; #Operation not permitted
}
else {
print STDERR "Ok, proceeding with removing running kernel image.\n";
}
