How do I script the removal of likewise-open packages from the maverick distro and replace with the Likewise6 ?
so I have tried using prerm, preinst and postrm to remove the existing distro with a dpkg --purge of the packages:
Selecting previously deselected package likewise6.
(Reading database ... 343165 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking likewise6 (from .../likewise6_6.0.0.8336_all.deb) ...
preinst
dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
dpkg: error processing /tmp/lw6/likewise6_6.0.0.8336_all.deb (--install):
subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2
remove from postrm
dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
/tmp/lw6/likewise6_6.0.0.8336_all.deb
johne@mylaptop:/usr/local$ dpkg -l|grep likew
ii likewise-open 5.4.0.42111-2ubuntu2 Authentication services for Active Directory Domains
ii likewise-open-gui 5.4.0.42111-2ubuntu2 Desktop utility for joining Active Directory domains
