当我尝试清除 postgres 时也发生了同样的情况,这里发生了什么,我该如何正确地删除 postgres?
答案1
你的问题
invoke-rc.d: initscript postgresql, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing package postgresql-common (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
我的解决方案
这捷径
sudo rm /etc/init.d/postgresql
sudo rm /etc/init/postgresql.conf
sudo apt-get remove postgresql
或者很长的路要走
打开文件
/var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql-common.postinst
sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql-common.postinst
使用启动命令搜索该行:
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/postgresql" ] || [ -e "/etc/init/postgresql.conf" ]; then invoke-rc.d postgresql start || exit $? fi
注释掉该块
# if [ -x "/etc/init.d/postgresql" ] || [ -e "/etc/init/postgresql.conf" ]; then # invoke-rc.d postgresql start || exit $? # fi
再次移除包裹。
sudo apt-get remove postgresql
解释
在删除期间postgresql
,将调用该脚本postgresql-common.postinst
。该脚本尝试启动服务postgresql
,但会失败invoke-rc.d postgresql start
(不要问我为什么)。
必须防止这种情况发生。要么通过改变代码执行的条件。要么通过删除代码本身。
