For kicks and giggles.

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get remove


Code: Select all
sudo apt-get autoremove


Code: Select all
sudo apt-get clean


Code: Select all
sudo apt-get autoclean


Then try purging and show us the output please.

Don't worry this wont hurt anything that is actually used or needed.

I use it often and the version in 2.7 is too old to properly check my .deb packages. I have never installed two seperate versions of a pacakge so i do not know how dpkg will handle it! Do you have an idea as to what would happen in that situation?

Generally 1 of 2 things happen in this case.

1. app just upgrades versions

2. warning that a conflict has emerged and the older app will need removed.

Not seen a case where 2 versions have installed side by side as of yet my self.

Neither have I but this is one rare occasion where i cannot afford to go testing it on my main machine. It is pretty obvious that the lintian package is tied deeply into Ultimate Edition. Question is why/how and which would be best way to upgrade it? I would hate to press the issue but lintian is vital to my developing work and as the version i have now is way out of date i cannot effectively produce viable .debs!! If only repomaster was up and working!! ;) Which actually brings me to another question of which version of lintian will repomaster be using?? I hte to bother TheeMahn on such a trivial post but it is looking like we need his input here!
