Ubuntu :: Apt-get (use Aptitude Purge To Remove All Associated Files Of A Package)?

May 2, 2010

Did a fresh install of 10.04 Desktop 86_64 this weekend. One of the first issues I noticed right away was that apt was not function properly. Say for example you install the packages tor and vidalia (assume I'm running everything from root). #apt-get install tor vidalia This command will check and install necessary dependencies, for example 'privoxy'. Now if you decide that you don't want to use privoxy and instead use polipo, you would probably feel inclined to remove privoxy. Well I found that apt-get autoremove, apt-get remove, apt-get purge WILL NOT remove all the files/directories associated with the package. You'll find that after running each of these commands, there will still be directories, scripts, etc. in /etc/init, /etc, and /etc/rc*.d. The only solution I've found to completely removing a package is aptitude purge [package].

Ubuntu Installation :: Aptitude Wants To Remove A Package?

Jan 19, 2010

i installed a package with dpkg --install and told it to ignore an unmet dependency because the package it depended on could not be installed with apt-get (it was a perl module) and i have manually installed the perl module, it works... however every time i do "apt-get upgrade" or anything like that it wants to remove the package i forced to install because it still thinks there are unmet dependencies, is there a way to either tell it to ignore that the package has unmet dependencies (i mean ignore that always, not something i will have to add every time i use aptitude) or is there a way to convince it that the package it thinks is missing (the unmet dependency) is actually met.

Ubuntu :: Could Not Find Package During "aptitude Remove"?

Dec 7, 2010

I'm trying to replace the ubuntu version of openoffice with the official release. During this procedure I ran the command:sudo aptitude remove openoffice.org-*and get the error:
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "openoffice.org-re_1.6.1-18_amd64.deb"I went in to synaptic and removed all the openoffice packages through the GUI (none of which matched that name) as well as the UNO and URE packages. Even after uninstalling all the packages, if I run the aptitude command again get the same error.What is going on here? Does it indicate that my package database has been corrupted? Can I rebuild the database? Should I just ignore this error

Ubuntu :: Delete All Associated Files When Performing A Purge?

Jul 20, 2010

I went to remove FreeNX from my Ubuntu Lucid machine so I opened the terminal and typed: "sudo aptitude purge freenx" The command worked but when I used the command "locate nx" I got a list of FreeNX associated files (as well as nxserver files). Is it possible to completely remove a program from my system? I thought "sudo aptitude purge" would do it but apparently not. My only concern is that in the future if I decide to install something related to this program it will interfere and cause problems.

Ubuntu :: Keep Aptitude From Deleting A Package?

Dec 15, 2010

I'm trying to install Apache2+PHP5+MySQL-cluster on a Ubuntu 10.10 server. I've done many installs like this but with just plain MySQL so this is my first time using mysql-cluster. After getting mysql-cluster working I went back and installed the packages for apache and php5, but somehow I forgot to install the php5-mysql package (not sure how I missed that!) so when I got back to install it it tells me it wants to uninstall mysql-cluster. The "error" I see is:

mysql-cluster-client will be automatically removed because of dependency errors:

* mysql-cluster-client depends on mysql-cluster-client-5.1 [universe]

I put a lot of time in to get mysql-cluster working and don't want to lose it. How do I tell aptitude to just leave it alone and install the php5-mysql package?

Programming :: Using Bash Script To Purge Rotating Tcpdump Files?

Oct 20, 2010

writing a script that would keep the last three versions of tcpdump files.Due to the version of tcpdump I must use -C and cannot use -G. Using -C generates a new file after X MB's have been written and adds a .x after each new one. The problem is that these files are filling up the disk too quickly. The main part of the script will kill tcpdump when a certain condition is met but in the meantime I need to purge and only keep say the three last iterations of the dump file. So for example, there is dump.pcap.1, dump.pcap.2, dump.pcap.3, dump.pcap.4 and dump.pcap.5. I'd like the script to look at the datestamps and delete dump.pcap.1 and dump.pcap2 since the other three are the three newest files. comparing files based on dump.pcap.*, check the dates and only keep the three 'youngest' files?

Ubuntu Servers :: Aptitude Wanting To Remove Packages Added With Apt-get?

Jan 6, 2011

Seems like always if I add a package with apt-get, next time I use aptitude to update packages on a server, the packages I added with apt-get are automatically marked for removal.

I must, in aptitude, "forget new packages" and "cancel pending actions" then update the package list, remark packages needing updating, THEN aptitude has forgotten it wanted to remove packages.

Why can aptitude and apt-get NOT get along!?

Currently I have 10.04 on all servers, thus where it still is a problem.

General :: Tell Aptitude To Ignore Broken Package?

Jan 13, 2010

I installed a Amsynth from Lucid in Karmic using:

dpkg --force-depends-version -i amsynth_1.2.2-1_i386.deb

The reason for installing the Lucid version is because Karmic version is 3 years old and crashes on my machine. The Lucid Amsynth package depends on newer versions of libatk1 and libjack0 than Karmic has, but I thought I would take a risk, and turns out Amsynth runs fine. However aptitude tries to uninstall Amsynth every time I do an upgrade. I think I've managed to put it on hold but now aptitude aborts. How can I tell aptitude to ignore the broken package and carry on.

Debian :: Use Aptitude To Check For An Installed Provided Package?

Jan 15, 2011

I regularly compile something from a source repository that has a certain set of dependencies. Some of these dependencies are dev libraries that are provided via other libraries but are not considered installed packages in themselves, so I cannot test for some dependencies directly.

I am currently parsing an "apt-cache showpkg" output to check for some of these provided dependencies. This is somewhat kludge-y and messy, and I was looking for a more elegant solution.

Is there an APTITUDE option that will directly test for the presence of a library that is part of some other package without having to know the name of the package that the library is part of?
