Some Ubuntu users may had experienced this problem. And it’s can’t be fixed by simply typing sudo dpkg –configure -a . I got a way to resolve it, but users must be remember that I am not responsible for any trouble caused by this solution. I tried, and it works on my PC.
How to resolve it?
First Delete (sudo rm)
/var/lib/dpkg/info/"unwanted-package-name".postrm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/"unwanted-package-name".list
And over here, the unwanted-package-name is the package that causing the main problem, when the problem is appeared, you will know where the package that causing the problem.
After that, type this following codes respectively on the terminal.
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update //run it twice
sudo apt-get upgrade
Note that for safety reason, please backup those files that I defined above.
I hope this solution could resolve your problem. Any trouble please do share over the comment box or the discussion page in AFL Facebook Page.

Hi,
Thank You very much.
I was aware of removing stalled information about the trouble package but I didn’t knew about
apt-get clean all
apt-get update (twice)
In my case those two commands done the trick.
And by the way, many thanks, because I was not in a position to reinstall Debian, the machine is a server
it is a pleasure for me to help
Thank You very much….
thak you so much, very very much dude
I think i have to re-install my maverick, but thank’s god to you who write this tutorial for a dumb like me.
once again, thank you so much
ngak masalah boss
Wow, can’t believe that not even this worked for me
I am having this issue with courier-imap & courier-pop. It started after I was installing Dovecot & it was automatically uninstalling courier.
It keeps saying that the configuration file for courier is missing, hence it cannot be removed nor updated nor anything.
weleh… indo juga toh…
kalo gitu pake bahasa kerajaan lagi… makasih banyak gan
You might have to add to it, if this method fails remove the package you have to upgrade. like described. then download the new one *.deb
extract it and copy over the /usr/ /etc/ /var/ folders on to /
did for me the trick with e2fsprogs***.deb
Then just install it again via synaptic.
Of course it helps only if its a error with cannot write /blabla/. (was for me some locale)
Thanks for sharing, when I get this error I live my laptop as it is. When I get time I formats whole laptop and try again to install. But now I will follow this process to update.
Wow, thank you VERY much for this! Had an issue with a dcp1000lpr not deleting and your tutorial worked flawlessly.
Bookmarked!
Thank YOU so much….
It saves my time….
