Debian Stretch: unable to uninstall bonescript


I am trying to uninstall bonescript on Debian 9.5. I run the following command sudo apt purge bonescript.

It fails to work, and prints out this statement:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 c9-core-installer : PreDepends: bonescript but it is not going to be installed

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Do you know what I can do to uninstall bonescript?

I read this article: Remove Beaglebone Black services permanently and ran the systemctl disable commands it mentions. I then use service --status-all to verify that the bonescript service is no longer running.


Solution

  • I just ran into this issue!

    You can fix this by sudo apt-get purge c9-core-installer

    Then try to uninstall bonescript

    Then you might want to remove nodeJS too!
