Hi, was trying to install fern-wifi-cracker from https://fern-wifi-cracker.googlecode...er_1.2_all.deb

"Before Steps", are not available, i found on other sides: i must install
Python
AirCrack-ng
macchanger
Xterm
Subversion
Python-qt4, so iam not sure if i have do this correctly or have all...

Anyway i grab this and some other packages come with, like citadel and so on, later i found a update to 1.6 (https://launchpad.net/~backbox/+arch...ckbox2_all.deb), so i grab this too...
later in Synaptic i see 1.6 is update-able...

Later i see the message Error:
"gem" needed and "nokogiri", simultanly i install it too, also he want "beef" and a "gdeb" for debian packages...omg*

Now is the point, i collapse and i dont know what is going on...

So i choice to stop all or reinstall it correctly or fix the prob with:

Code:

---

sudo apt-get o dpkg::options::="--force-confnew" -o dpkg::options:="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install /var/cache/apt/archives/fern-wifi-cracker_1.6-bt0_all.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn´t find package

---

So i now want remove it simply:

Code:

---

apt-get remove fern-wifi-cracker
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

---

After this i installed synaptic and want to try remove with a GUI. Fern was marked for a update, i try this but:

Code:

---

An error occured
E:/var/cache/apt/archives/fern-wifi-cracker_1.6-bt0_all.deb: there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up.

---

Details from synaptic are the same:

Code:

---

dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed pre-removal script: Exec format error
dpkg: warning: old pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover.

---

Now i want to erase what is coming with fern-wifi-cracker...because, actually i can´t use it no "monitor mode"...
Hope u can help me a bit, alternate it can displaced to Beginner-Section, because i am a Beginner in Linux and Bash

Thank for all information about this Problem.
Regards
dataminer

If this solved i will install correctly the stuff and learning more about this...synaptic will help me, and i will learn!

Interesting, but how you install fern-w-c, looks like it was installed in your Distribution?
I hope u read my post a bit closer, so u find the questions i have...;)
i want do something, erase or reinstall fer-w-c, but i have some errors, updates waiting and stopped after i try to delete or reinstall fern-w-c.
a.s.o.

* I, as always, I did not understand the question!

You are a little Genius, i think.
The version i installed is 1.7...per synaptic is update to 1.6bt0 available, because its the latest update. If i mark to update (to a lower version) error i coming.
How i can have 1.7? And how Synaptic have only 1.6bt0)

Thats the first.

Anyways, i sill remove it and i can´t so. Other updates waiting after the error of fern update.
If i try to remove v1.6 per synaptic, if i have v1.7, he can´t remove, sounds logical.

What is the command to remove version 1.7?
I think i have upgrade-button used in fern-w-c, not loaded a package.

But:
sudo apt-get remove fern-wifi-cracker brings me a error, see below...

Thanks for reply
