[SOLVED] AVAST installation - Now Regrets

[mank_in]

Maybe to late to reply, but i am install avast on LM 12 and LM 11 and works fine ( except after update, and you need add line kernel.shmmax = 128000000 to sysctl.conf )

i find a post related to your problem http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu ... ideas.html

ok, will try it ...
... entered as above and still the same.
But the issue that guy was having on that ubuntu link you posted is the exact same that I'm having here... tried step by step the suggestions given there and at the last step I get ...

Code: Select all

subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 avast4workstation"

[mank_in]

i see 4 file related with avast in /var/lib/dpkg/info

Code: Select all

cd /var/lib/dpkg/info/
ls avast*

avast4workstation.list
avast4workstation.postinst
avast4workstation.md5sums
avast4workstation.prerm

Are you sure deleted all 4 files

[Clyde]

they are still there...

Code: Select all

avast4workstation.list     avast4workstation.postinst
avast4workstation.md5sums  avast4workstation.prerm

all avast left after removal:

Manually cleaned out all the files ... still can't use update nor SPM:



I wonder what is still blocking this could it be 'cabextract.desktop' - can this prog be removed and re-installed ? (usr/share/apps/konqueror)
