@Ale
Right now I don’t have much time but I hope I will on weekend, so if you’ll explain your problem in details and give me sources which fails — I’ll try to help.

It looks like very useful, but I think that my problem is not solved with this hint.

I need to read packet sent by a pc to my address. I remain listening to the receive port but I can’t see nothing on the screen (timeout or all clean).

I’m using fsockopen instead of socket_create, but I can’t exit from the infinite loop.

I need to catch the data and save them in a file or on a DB, but it’s impossible for me now.

Can you help me?

@Ali

All commands have to be run with root privileges. This means that either every single command should be prefixed with ‘sudo ‘ command or you have to get root privileges permanently with ‘su‘.

Another thing which can cause this problem is that something is blocking /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.prerm file. For example you have opened this file for editing in mc and forgot to close.

Anyway I can’t tell for sure. I need more details. So if you’ll contact me, I’ll try to figure problem out, so then I’ll update a post with possible problem in mind.

Thanks for the post. On my Debian testing install, I wasn’t able to fix this problem immediately:

# dpkg –force-all –remove adobe-flashplugin
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because –force enabled:
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state — you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
(Reading database … 142017 files and directories currently installed.)

update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin.
dpkg: error processing adobe-flashplugin (–remove):
subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
postinst called with argument ‘abort-remove’
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
adobe-flashplugin

So I moved the prerm script out of the way:

# mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.prerm /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.prerm-DISABLED

Then the command worked. Thanks!

@adam:

Seems like your dpkg status area is locked by another process (e.g. apt-get or aptitude installing/updating/removing) or you don’t have rights. You have to run it with root privileges. If you still having problems, you can contact me via xmpp:zapparov@jabber.ru or via irc:ixti@freenode.net
