Problems that can arise if user moves matter folder, or deletes it #67

Closed heyzec closed 3 years ago

heyzec commented 3 years ago

If a user accidentally moves the matter folder or deletes it, it can lead to this error when uninstalling old kernels. It may not be easy to realise that it is caused by matter folder.

Thanks for catching this! I think it should be fixed now.

I opened a new issue (#68) for discussing ways of improving the installation process. I will close this one as this particular problem with apt remove should be patched for now. Feel free to re-open it if you see fit.
