apt-get

sudo apt-get remove webcontentcontrol sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get upgrade sudo pkill webcontentcontrol sudo apt-get remove webcontentcontrol

still doesn't work

I always get the error message "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" after

sudo apt-get remove webcontentcontrol

What should I do?

I'm trying to find a parental control for Ubuntu that turns adult site words into *. I have tried webcontentcontrol (doesn't even ask me to set a password), mobicip (doesn't even get listed in package names). My family can see my adult bookmark names and that's really embarrassing.

I tried

sudo apt-get remove webcontentcontrol
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo pkill webcontentcontrol
sudo apt-get remove webcontentcontrol

but still can't uninstall it.

Googling for that error message resulted in a solution that is first said dangerous, later said wrong.

After sudo apt-get remove webcontentcontrol, I always get the error message "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)".

What should I do?

The full error message is in brazilian portuguese. Should I post it anyway?

I have just installed nanny, but while webcontentcontrol is installed, it doesn't load.
