Can't uninstall ipkg completely, which prevent ipkg reinstallation about alt-f

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Well, I continued to play in the shell.

fter all the above command in the previous post, I tried those two command:

1. aufs.sh -n
2. rm -rf /mnt/md0/Alt-F /Alt-F

Then the NAS stopped working, had to unplug power cable and replug it to 
restart the unit back up.

Upon restart, I was able to reinstalled ipkg.

Strange behavior, I have no idea what happenned.

I was suggesting something in the same line,

*First* stop and verify that all services are stopped (but not inetd), then try 
to uninstall again.

If it still fails, try 'ipkg -clean', and if that also fails,

aufs.sh -n
rm -rf /Alt-F /mnt/md0/Alt-F /Alt-F

It is sometimes difficult to unmount aufs, because there are files 
opened/running from there.
Often the above aufs.sh -n, rm ... will make the box freeze, and a power cord 
unplug is needed.

'ipkg -clean' does most of the above, but sometimes manual intervention is 
needed. Not fixable...

If you have a spare partition, perhaps leftovers from D-Link, than its better 
to install packages there.

Thanks
