I have enabled root access and tried to install bash via the terminal ( apt-get install bash ), but this failed, a number of possible reasons listed. The working method seems to be to change bash to sh, however i dont understand what this means nor how to do it. I'm not an experienced linux user but i'm fine with copying commands into the terminal. I dont want to do anything where there is a risk of further damage. Please could somone spare some time to provide a step by step guide to uninstall this broken app using the bash->sh method. Many thanks & Cheers...

Try this:

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install bash

then uninstall freeciv from app manager.

Ooops. Thought it was a new post.

It may have been removed when it broke the repo, but i thought that was an older version.

ldrn: did this old port prove to be too much of a broken PITA?

It should have been an older version that was removed -- according to the package manager, it should be there, but of course isn't. I'm trying to figure out why.

I thought it was going rather well, actually.

It could be something to do with the new update.

The UQM version in -devel mysteriously disappeared in the same way, but it had a missing dependency. Maybe some automated cleanup process is the culprit.

Bump up the version number and include any changes and reupload i guess. Worked for uqm...

Great advice -- I did it, and Freeciv should be back in devel now.

PR1.1 changed how SDL apps work, though... it turns out there's a minor graphical glitch in the in-program task switch button when it's actually used. I'll need to fix that before I promote it to Testing again.
