Unable to Remove Zend Server CE

[redturtle]

At some point Zend Server CE 5.0.3 stopped working and I was unable to fix it. I decided to uninstall and reinstall. Unfortunately I am unable to remove Zend Server.

When I try

Code: Select all

aptitude purge "~n.*zend.*"

I get this

Code: Select all

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

When I try to fix with

dpkg --configure -a

I get this

Code: Select all

Setting up php-5.3-gui-zend-server (5.0.134+b37) ...
Site zendserver_gui.conf already enabled
* Reloading web server config apache2
Restarting lighttpd to refresh Zend Server GUI
Terminated

After this I still can't remove...

Any tips are highly appreciated. Thanks.

I am still unable to fix this. I was running in a lot of problems as a result of this:

Now I'm stucked here:

It looks related to Zend Server but I'm unable to solve. Help is highly appreciated.

As you want to remove Zend Server, we can edit the script that causes the problem. Afterwards you should remove the rest of zend's package and do a new installation.

As root, please edit this file: /var/lib/dpkg/info/php-5.3-gui-zend-server.postinst
and remove the last two lines which should be:

Code: Select all

echo "Restarting lighttpd to refresh Zend Server GUI"
/usr/local/zend/bin/lighttpdctl.sh restart

Afterwards remove the php-5.3-gui-zend-server should go without any problem.

p.s.
Notice that this is a work around just to let you remove the package.

Thank you very much. With this info I was able to get it working. -> Uninstalled (purged) -> Installed -> Works like charm.

Thanks, Udo
