failed to find a package

[Nobody/Anonymous]

In the automatic installation, doing the apt-get update, I get :

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/librepolan/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404  Not Found

What can I do?

Ahh, I see the problem. It's libroplan instead on libreplan. I created the PPA key wrong. I'll remove the PPA key and try again.

[Manuel Rego Casasnovas]

Yes it's libreplan ;-)

The instructions to install it from PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreplan/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreplan

I hope your problems are fixed now.

Bye,

Huum. I'm trying to start fresh and want to remove libreplan, but using the Synaptic package manager I'm getting :

libreplan: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error - exit status 10

How do I remove postgresql and libreplan manually?

[Manuel Rego Casasnovas]

I didn't have that error removing LibrePlan, I've just done some tests in a Debian system.

I've installed LibrePlan downloading the .deb file and with the following commands:

# dpkg -i libreplan_1.2.2-1_amd64.deb
# apt-get install -f

Then I've uninstalled it (without any problem):

# apt-get remove libreplan

To uninstall the dependencies (Tomcat, PostgreSQL):

# apt-get auto-remove

And everything works as expected for me.

I hope this helps.

Anything else I can try?

I'm stuck. I cannot uninstall the package and I cannot install the package. How can I manually remove Libreplan and Postgresql so I can install fresh?

[Adrian Perez de Castro]

I think you could try to completely remove the package with Dpkg, like this:

  

# dpkg -P libreplan

If that still failed to uninstall the package, you could manually remove the files (as listed in the output of

dpkg -L libreplan

), remove the postinst/preinst/etc scripts from

/var/lib/dpkg/info/

and the entry for the package in the

/var/lib/dpkg/available

(make sure to keep a backup, just in case something goes wrong). Last, but not least, you may want to delete the database as well. The exact method depends on what you are using, for PostgreSQL you have to use the

dropdb

command.

I hope this helps!
