As noted by Miguel Tadeu, the openerp user has to be logged out first, otherwise dpkg will keep throwing errors. So to uninstall openerp-server on my Ubuntu 10.10 32bit desktop, I ran : $ sudo skill -kill -u openerp
and then I was able to remove openerp-server using: $ sudo apt-get remove openerp-server For details, see "man skill" or http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto- linux-kill-and-logout-users.html P.S. I did not need to stop the openerp-server service manually, apt-get took care of it during the removal process. However, if you need to stop the openerp-server process, you can do so manually using be4truth's instructions above. -- package openerp-server failed to remove: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 - userdel: user openerp is currently logged in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454436 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
