Subject: "dpkg --purge zgv" fails
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 1997 20:32:17 +0000 (WET)

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.8

	Hello,

	I installed zgv, found out I did not really want it, and failed to
uninstall it :


anonimo# dpkg --purge zgv

(Reading database ... 18990 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing zgv ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/zgv.prerm: install-mime: command not found
dpkg: error processing zgv (--purge):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 zgv


 I checked that (at least one) other packages could be "purged"
without complaints. 

 I use :
  Debian  1.3
  Linux   2.0.30 
  libc.so.5.4.33

	Please tell me if I sent this mail to the wrong place,

  Thanks you for the Debian distribution,

	Etienne
