apt无法删除包(postgresql)

Question

我试图在我的ubuntu21.10客户端上安装postgres。

sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib

这导致了警告，但我还是决定安装它。这不是一件明智的事情，因为这会导致依赖问题(见下文)，并最终导致包崩溃。

我试过：

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt -f install
sudo apt update
sudo apt autoremove

还有更多。它现在归结为postgresql 13期望某个文件，找不到它并终止卸载(或安装一个新的postgresql版本)。有谁知道如何从这种情况下卸载postgresql并使其变得有序吗？

Answer 1

损坏是由于postgresql-client-common的问题。此软件包必须能够卸载其他软件包，但至少有一些内容丢失，从而导致

/var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql-client-13.postinst: 7: .: cannot open /usr/share/postgresql-common/maintscripts-functions: No such file

dpkg对包的状态相当不满：

dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'postgresql-client-common' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed

要修复这些问题，您需要强制重新安装这个包，也许还需要重新安装postgreql-common：

sudo apt reinstall postgreql-client-common

一旦完成，您应该能够删除PostgreSQL 13包。
