    Buenadriver; Ummphh,

    Not real surprised as
    rH xserver-common-lts-raring
    the 'rh' denotes -Removed- but only -Halfway-.
    What now have we got to work with on the system (??):
    show us:
    Code:
    ls -la /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-common*
    One way or another
    we will work through this

    Happy ubuntu'n !

    Re: How to remove file?

    Well iirc someone had the same diversion error a couple of weeks ago, and the solution was to edit the post-install script directly - I don't really know anything about dpkg file diversions but it would be nice if we could figure out a more elegant way (or at least figure out if editing the post-rm is safe)
