i tried installing Midnight Commander via Synaptic, but i got an error. However, the package was still marked as installed and when I tried to remove it, i get this error.
Setting up mc (2:4.6.2~git20080311-4ubuntu1) ...
update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/share/man/fr.UTF-8/man1/view.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/view.fr.UTF-8.1.gz: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing mc (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
mc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
And the package stays marked, and whenever i try to install or remove other software this errors always shows up.
I'm using Gloria. Any ideas on how to remove this.

Re: Error installing and removing Midnight Commander
That's odd - I have it/etc/alternatives/view.fr.UTF-8.1.gz: No such file or directory
and it's a link to /usr/share/man/fr.UTF-8/man1/vim.1.gzSo first try - make that (sym)link - root permissions are needed of course
Second try and (more than) a bit dangerous
Code: Select all
apt purge -f mc
