Open jerry-ne opened 1 year ago

jerry-ne commented 1 year ago

I was downloaded veracrypt-1.25.9-Ubuntu-22.04-amd64.deb and alsoconsole version. I do not know there is oposition in these two version. I was installed console first and after that I tried to install GUI version. OK, I prefer GUI version. So I run /usr/bin/veracrypt-uninstall.sh and it was successfu! After that I tried to install GUI version. But cannot install, deb package is still see somewhere veracrypt-console. Installation is aborted.

Expected behavior

after using veracrypt-uninstall.sh to have clean system

Observed behavior

sudo dpkg -i veracrypt-1.25.9-Ubuntu-22.04-amd64.deb 
dpkg: regarding veracrypt-1.25.9-Ubuntu-22.04-amd64.deb containing veracrypt:

Ran into this same issue today. After searching the system the same way you @jerry-ne did, I wasn't able to find any left over artifacts. I moved over to thinking it had to dpkg issues, and it was.

Running sudo dpkg-query -l , I saw that even after running the uninstall script, dpkg still had it as an installed package.

I ran dpkg -r veracrypt-console and was able to get it removed.

Once that was done, I had to reinstall a dependency (libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5) with sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5.

Then sudo dpkg -i ./veracrypt-1.25.9-Ubuntu-20.04-amd64.deb and it worked after that.
