SOLVED - Installation element is corrupted - Help

#1 Post by yoel »

Every time I install a new program or app successfully or unsuccessfully I get an error message saying:

"Problem detected while installing, please inspect the console output."

I think the problem derives from a previous installation of a vpn (vyprvpn) that corrupted the installation element. In this case I was only trying to install Asmix. The errors are highlighted with yellow. This is what the log says:

How can I solve this problem?

Try this to force-remove the bad package:

Code: Select all

dpkg --force-all --remove vyprvpn
