RageIRCd ... Problems uninstalling package

[DarkHorizon]

Hey all,

I was a problem removing a package which half-failed to install in the first place. Here is the output:

root@zeus:~# apt-get remove -y rageircd
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages will be REMOVED:

Removing rageircd ...

After editing /etc/rageircd/rageircd.conf ServerInfo block "name" variable to my system's hostname, I was able to uninstall the application by using the same command as above.

I don't know if this will be useful to anyone, but just in case... this is the fix!

thanks, this worked for me. It was causing all kinds of other apps to fail durring install/uninstall and it is good to finally be rid of this issue
