When using the synaptic package manager to install clamav and havp the clamav installs but the havp does not install properly. The observed error message is
E: havp: subprocess post installation script returned error exit status 1
Leaving the system in this state seems to create crashes after a period of time.
Attempts at removal using synaptic yield a similar exit status 1 error.
In terminal with a sudo dpkg -- remove havp command the following messages are given:
Removing havp ...
Stopping havp: invoke-rc.d: initscript havp, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing havp (--remove):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Starting havp: Starting HAVP Version: 0.82
Could not open lock testfile /var/run/havp/havp-qIxEM7: No such file or directory
Maybe you need to: chown havp /var/run/havp
Exiting..
invoke-rc.d: initscript havp, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
havp
Further investigation reveals that subdirectory havp does not exist.
Can someone tell me how to rid the system of havp 0.82?
