Specifically: [...] This package is b0rken :-/ (and got removed for grml's new release therefore), see my bugreport against the Debian package: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=401579 Try running 'rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/open-iscsi.prerm ; apt-get install' - this should fix your problem. -mika- -- ,'"`. http://www.michael-prokop.at/ ( grml.org -?
