Public bug reported:
I'm running Xubuntu 8.04 from my USB drive and thought installing ramlog
might lengthen its lifetime. Unfortunately there was some error
installing it, so I decided to remove it, however:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get remove ramlog
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
ramlog
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 43 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 262kB disk space will be freed.

Removing ramlog ...
sed: can't read /boot/grub/menu.lst: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing ramlog (--remove):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
ramlog
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
The biggest annoyance is that removing ramlog is marked by default in
Synaptic, and because it won't uninstall I can't do anything else (like
installing, etc.).
Of course there's no /boot/grub/menu.lst since this is essentially a
LiveCD, but this should not prevent me from installing or removing other
packages.
Oh, and after I selected "ramlog" as the source package Launchpad told
me ""ramlog" does not exist in Ubuntu. Please choose a different
package. If you're unsure, please select "I don't know"", but I suppose
that's food for a bugreport on Launchpad.
