When I was installing MTS Mblaz crossplatformui.deb for MTS data connect, its installed partial and shows error, and So I tried to uninstall "crossplatformui" but every time it showed following error.

Follow these steps carefully.

  1. sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/crossplatformui.postrm. This will open that file in gedit text editor with super-user privileges.
  2. press Ctrl+F in gedit to search. Write in the search-box ztemtvcdromd and comment out those lines which contains the search string by placing # at the start of the line(s).
    If this process seems complicated then simply put exit 0 after the first line (which should contain #!/sbin/sh).
  3. save the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/crossplatformui.postrm.
  4. then try dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq crossplatformui to uninstall the package.

  • And preferably set the locale en_US.UTF-8 which is universally supported instead of Indian English subset :). – Samik Jun 02 '12 at 15:10
  • Thanks for reply but when i use that command the following message display (Reading database ... 205769 files and directories currently installed.)

  • Please provide the output of the command locale. – Samik Jun 03 '12 at 17:48
  • Again Thanks for helping me, The output of locele command is as arvind@arvind-laptop:~$ locale LANG=en_IN LANGUAGE=en_IN:en LC_CTYPE="en_IN" LC_NUMERIC="en_IN" LC_TIME="en_IN" LC_COLLATE="en_IN" LC_MONETARY="en_IN" LC_MESSAGES=en_IN.UTF-8 LC_PAPER="en_IN" LC_NAME="en_IN" LC_ADDRESS="en_IN" LC_TELEPHONE="en_IN" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_IN" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_IN" LC_ALL= – Arvind Gangwar Jun 05 '12 at 04:31
  • Ok, I am editing my answer. – Samik Jun 05 '12 at 09:11

    en_US.UTF-8 does not have to be universally available. Use the C locale, that is always available. Shortcut: LANG=C locale. See also http://askubuntu.com/q/142812/6969 on changing locales temporarily. – Lekensteyn Jun 05 '12 at 09:33
  • @Lekensteyn true. But those warnings seem to be harmless, the process tried to fall back to C locale, yet failed. I think the error here is ztemtvcdromd: no process found. – Samik Jun 05 '12 at 09:39
  • @Samik You're right, using apt-file search ztemtvcdromd also makes clear that it isn't a standard application supplied with Ubuntu. As for the locale warnings, it makes the output slightly harder to read. – Lekensteyn Jun 05 '12 at 09:43
  • @Smik you are right, the problem is occurred when I was installing crossplatformui (which is Not a ubuntu supplied s/w, it is for MTS Internet Data card), that time it failed installation, and then so i was tried to uninstall that, but create this new problem of broken software index. Now nothing is install or uninstall. its through that no such file/directroy ztemtvcdromd . – Arvind Gangwar Jun 06 '12 at 13:32
  • @SmikLots of Thanks for giving your valuable time to solve my problem,'sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/crossplatformui.postrm.' then 'dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq crossplatformui ' will remove the crossplatformui successfully. – Arvind Gangwar Jun 06 '12 at 13:58

  • @ArvindGangwar if you are currently in Ubuntu 12.04 or precise then you should remove update channels fro Ubuntu 11.10 or natty from your software sources from synaptic package manager. – Samik Jun 06 '12 at 15:10
  • @Samik Currently I have Ubuntu 11.04 version. – Arvind Gangwar Jun 07 '12 at 17:39
  • This seems to be a different issue related with connecting to the software repositories, if the problem is persistent then create a new post(of course search previous similar questions) and make a link to this post as background information. – Samik Jun 07 '12 at 17:48
  • @Samik, Thanks for your valuable time to solve this issue, Now I close from my side as my problem is solved, thanks – Arvind Gangwar Jun 11 '12 at 05:37
