Cannot to uninstall "cqrlog" app

  • 772

I use Ubuntu Studio 18.04.3, with additional backports PPA to get LTS.

By mistake, from Synaptic Package Manager, I installed an app called: "cqrlog".

That app is useful (I guess) to the Ham Radio world, but... It is not my case, now.

So... I want to uninstall it, but... I cannot to do it!

I've tried the standard line commands:

sudo apt autoremove --purge cqrlog
sudo apt auto-remove cqrlog
sudo apt autoclean

But... Nothing!

I just get the following error message (direct translated from the Spanish message):

dpkg: error when processing the package cqrlog (--remove):

Installed cqrlog package post-removal hyphen the subprocess gaves the output status 1

Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

What's wrong here?

Why I cannot to uninstall this app?

How can I uninstall that package?

package-management uninstall apt

  2. None of the ideas the gang wrotes worked for me. So...

    I decided to perform a "manual" removal of all the files with the name "cqrlog".

    I did it with the files tracker called: "Catfish". At the same time, I used "Thunar", as superuser.

    There were not too much files; configuration files (text) most of them.

    So... I erased all of them, one by one.

    Then I used the standard command line commands:

    sudo apt autoremove --purge

sudo apt autoclean

    And... Now it seems to be uninstalled and fixed!

    I don't know if this is an "Official" answer to this, but... In my case, it worked!
