UnInstalling Koha-common brings errors












1















I initially installed Koha from packages using instructions on this site.



I decided to uninstall it, I used apt-get remove koha-common then I deleted the install dir which was (/usr/share/koha/) permanently. Later when I used apt-get purge koha_common it brings this error:



dpkg: error processing package koha-common (--purge):
subprocess installed pre-removal script returned exit status 1
Error: /usr/share/koha/bin/koha-functions.sh not present
...
dpkg: error while cleaning up...


This error tends to persist when I try to re-install. As a result I have not been able to re-install. Please, anybody with a solution or a hack on how to overcome this!

          This is not a Koha issue. Please read apt manual page (similar to apt-get) running man apt. You should expect to receive an error about a file not being present on a folder you just deleted. To remove completely Koha should be enough to



          sudo apt purge koha-common


          apt remove (and with apt-get) is different will leave configuration files of the package (again, that's on manual page).



          As said here remove first all Koha instance.
