Weblog entry #5 for Grimnar
See all weblog entries made by Grimnar.
And I think I was trying to remove clamav-freshclam when the process just stopped. And now I cant install or remove anything because of that process and I have no idea on how to fix this. Sure, I have tried the apt-get -f install and such, but no luck.
So, has anyone any good tips on how to fix this?
gwdebian:/etc/squid# apt-get remove squid

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
clamav-freshclam: Depends: clamav-base (= 0.88.1-1) but 0.88.2-1 is to be installed
sqcwa: Depends: squid but it is not going to be installed
squid-prefetch: Depends: squid but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

On the extremely rare occasion when apt(itude) has given me grief, dropping down to dpkg will generally get me past the problem. Good luck. HTH.

BUT, there is always this but.
On my setup right now I use squid on my gateway. So all my local users somehow has to connect via squid to do stuff on the net. Squid has been working fine when my isp was kinda screwed up for a while and squid saved the day many times.
But now my since my ISP is 100% again i really dont need squid and I tried to uninstall it, that worked great to. But now my NAT do not work at all?
Tried to reboot and such, but no luck. The only computer to have access to the internet is my gateway and that is not good enough. So I had to reinstall squid again to write this.
How do I remove squid and make my NAT work as normal again? (It's quite a normal NAT solution).
-Andreas.

NAT and Squid are unrelated.
What I'd suggest is that you've probably implemented some firewall rules somewhere to get transparent proxying - so of course once you remove the Squid package your outgoing HTTP requests fail.
Check your firewall settings by running:
root@desktop:~# iptables --list
If you have anything in there referring to HTTP then you've found the problem and you just need to remove the rules from wherever they were added.
