Re: OMSA broken package Ubuntu Trusty

Ok, I have been able to remove/ purge and clean all OpenManage content 
from my apt system:

    dpkg -l  | awk '/srvadmin/ {print $2}' |xargs apt-get -f -y remove
    aptitude autoclean
    aptitude clean
    apt-get autoremove # for dependencies

    dpkg -l  |grep -Ev "^rc|^ii|^un"


-> Should return nothing.  (*)
If not, and if a packet needs a non-existing file just add the file with 
the exec permission and following (stupid) content:

    #!/bin/bash
    exit 0


However, now, I have not OpenManage on my system :)
!!

I think a basic install script from source/tarball would be a better 
solution (./configure/make/sudo make install) for most of them.
I saw some sources here: http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/ubuntu/source/
But there is no documentation/README on how to install (?) and choose 
what is needed (?).

Best regards,
Remy

(*) I found another dpkg interesting option with debsums, which aims to 
reinstall your corrupted packages:

    debsums -c 2>&1 | cut -d " " -f 4 | sort -u | xargs -rd '\n' -- dpkg
    -S | cut -d : -f 1 | sort -u | xargs -rd '\n' -- sudo apt-get -y -f
    install --reinstall
