    Solved - DPKG returns fatal error

    Hi, would appreciate some help please.

    Yesterday I installed the package gnokii to see if it would connect to a mobile phone.

    Turned out not to be needed so I uninstalled it and all dependencies (all with synaptic)/

    However, I cannot upgrade now or install anything as I get the following error
    Code:
    dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
     syntax error: unknown group 'gnokii' in statoverride file
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
    Does anyone know how to fix this please?

    TIA
    Solved Found a file /var/lib/statoverride and a backup that appeared to heve been created when the nokia app was originally installed. Replaced the file with the backup. Fixed
Working...
