dpkg 看到它们，但 apt-get 无法删除它们？

Question

（类似于在 Debian 上卸载默认 VBoxGuestAdditions但安装了 Ubuntu 的问题，并且那里的解决方案对我不起作用？）

实际上，问题似乎出在 dpkg/apt-get 而不是 virtualbox 或其 linux 来宾添加上：

host:/media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.2.10_84104$ dpkg -l | grep virtualbox
rc  virtualbox-guest-utils                 4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.2                  x86 virtualization solution - non-X11 guest utilities
rc  virtualbox-guest-x11                   4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.2                  x86 virtualization solution - X11 guest utilities
host:/media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.2.10_84104$ sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11

VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
You appear to have a version of the VBoxGuestAdditions software
on your system which was installed from a different source or using a
different type of installer.  If you installed it from a package from your
Linux distribution or if it is a default part of the system then we strongly
recommend that you cancel this installation and remove it properly before
installing this version.  If this is simply an older or a damaged
installation you may safely proceed.

Do you wish to continue anyway? [yes or no]
no

Cancelling installation.

所以 dpkg 看到了 virtualbox-guest-utils 和 virtualbox-guest-x11 但 apt-get 不能删除它们？！

Answer 1

rc virtualbox-guest-utils 4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.2

此输出中的前两个标志准确地告诉您发生了什么：

'r' 表示包处于移除状态。它仍然在技术上安装，但大部分实际上已经消失了。

'c' 表示仍然安装了配置文件。

man dpkg-query如果您有兴趣，请阅读以获取更多信息。

这种状态 (rc) 很常见 - 几乎每次您删除带有配置文件的包时，它都会以这种状态结束。

要修复它，请使用--purge选项dpkg或apt-get remove清除这些条目。
