Hi,

I tried to remove a package in Ubuntu Hardy Heron with no sucess, look
at as follows:

root@(protected)
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
elvis
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 750kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

Removing elvis ...

Same problem with other packages, eg:

Removing vim-nox ...

/usr/share/man/pl.ISO8859-2/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink to

dpkg: error processing vim-nox (--remove):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
vim-nox

How can I fix it?

Thanks in advance!!
