Unable to install icaclient ("Errors were encountered while processing")

  • 772

I tried to installed icaclient (a remote desktop application), and it failed to install for some reason. The problem is that now whenever I try to install a new application with apt-get, I get this message even of the installation succeeded:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 icaclient:i386
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Although applications do get installed correctly, but the message is really annoying, and it could potentially hide other errors.

apt

    IMHO icaclient isn't installed properly. If it doesn't break any dependency, try to uninstall it first with aptitude remove icaclient:i386. Also always force yourself to use aptitude instead of apt-get. It's way more "smart".

  2. Have a look at this page

    Try this

    1. cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
    2. sudo rm icaclient:i386.*
    3. sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq icaclient:i386

    and the try to install a new application.
