There is no longer a need for anyone to ask anyone "what distribution...?" Right? ; ) Rob Gibson wrote: Larry, It looks like the postrm script is trying to stop CUPS before making modifications to the system (as it probably should) and is failing.The fact that the init script for CUPS tells me that one of threethings is going on.1. CUPS is not installed, but the package you are trying to remove expects it to be. Try installing CUPS to ensure that the postrmscript can do what it wants to do when removing that package. 2. The postrm script has a bug in it and needs to be worked around. Depending on what the script is actually doing, you might be able to replicate the actions of a particular line and then comment that line out in the script. Check /var/lib/dpkg/info/ql550cupswrapper.postrm for instances of /etc/init.d/cupsys and comment those lines out. Most likely, the system is trying to shut down CUPS. If that is what is happening, you can shut CUPS down manually and comment the linesafely. I would be VERY judicious with this option, as there is achance of breaking your package management just a bit if you aren'tcareful. Nothing really terrible, but it would need to be fixed before any other changes could be made to packages on your system.3. Depending on your distribution and version, there are some new alternatives to the traditional SysV init and rc system that arebecoming more popular. With either Upstart or Debian Testing's new "dependency-based boot system," certain assumptions that we take for granted are no longer guaranteed. Scripts may be in different locations and such. So I would look closely at what the postrm is doing and why the script can't find the /etc/init.d/cupsys script for your answer. Also, what distribution are you running? I hope we can help...
