I installed a broken package, and now apt-get/aptitude is failing with trying to remove it
Each time I run a apt operation, this is the message I get:
Removing crossplatformui ...
ztemtvcdromd: no process found
dpkg: error processing crossplatformui (--remove):
subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already
Errors were encountered while processing:
crossplatformui
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
running sudo apt-get install -f gives me this:
amith@amith-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

The following packages will be REMOVED:
