Uninstall "hello World GTK" but its still there
Hey guys i for some odd reason i got bored and i downloaded this game that was called "hello world GTK" once i loaded it up and realized it didnt do anything i uninstall it. The 770 said it was successfully uninstall but when i went into the folder it was still there. How in the world do i get rid of it if it said it was already uninstall.
Thanks |

Re: Uninstall "hello World GTK" but its still there
I got the same problem! Im familiar with apt-get and regular debian stuff but im still stuck! the package is broken so after an install the remove is impossible it seems like!?
When doing an apt-get remove hello-world-app I get the following response! Nokia-N800-50-2:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get remove -y --force-yes hello-world-app Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: hello-world-app 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 246kB disk space will be freed. dpkg: error processing hello-world-app (--remove): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. Errors were encountered while processing: hello-world-app E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) so I tried to reinstall it as it tells me by doing a regular apt-get install on it and then get Get:1 http://repostory.maemo.org chinook/free hello-world-app 0.7 [21,2kB] Fetched 21,2kB in 0s (24,3kB/s) Selecting previously deselected package hello-world-app. (Reading database ... 19818 files and directories currently installed.)

Otherwise I will flash the tablet and reinstall all but this evil app again. |

I'm totally new to the debian package stuff, wanted to build up an own installation package today and since the hello-world-app is THE example on how to do it, I was so keen to build & install this package on my N800/OS2008 to see how it looks like. And I'm completely shocked that the standard example for making debian packages for maemo didn't even uninstall correctly! :eek: :mad: This is how I was able to fix it: I changed /var/lib/dpkg/info/hello-world-app.postrm to: Code:
