error message when I try to add new software . . .
_______
E: wp-full: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 127

I had tried to add wordperfect 8.1 from a legit debian file I had on an old Corel Linux CD. [Sorry but i would really like to have WP on my Ubuntu dist. (OpOff) just does not do it for me.]
command used dpkg -i wp-full_8.1-nn_i386.deb

I used command line It partially installed, but required other legacy packages, these then failed completely when it tried to install incompatible font files. Ok . . so I try to back out, but when I try to remove the "wp-x-x-x" file it refused giving me the error above.

Any ideas . .? Thanks

Try removing the file from command line and post the complete results.

sudo apt-get remove whateverfilename
