I am trying (and failing) to fix an error with the above package on debian etch, (upgraded system from sid). anyway I need this fixed so I can install flashplugin-nonfree, so my webbrowser does not keep crashing, when viewing a page with flash. This has been an issue for months, and is getting rather annoying despite help from the chatroom I am getting no where. using dselect running dpkg --pending --remove ...

Is there a way to remove this package manually, and edit some sort of database somewhere, that will tell apt, dpkg or whatever that its not there anymore allowing the package to be reinstalled thanks Paul -- Support open file formats use ISO 26300 Open Document format as used by openoffice.org, http:///www.openoffice.org Linuxbierwanderung - Torbay Mini Linux Beer Hike 28th / 29th July 2007 http://www.linuxbierwanderung.org/ Follow torbay mini LBW link. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version 3.1 GIT d S: a C+++ UL++++ P+ L++ W++ N+ W--- O!
