I am trying to install RVI on Ubuntu 14.04 following the given installation instruction. I got the following error after running  "sudo dpkg -i rvi_0.5.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb":

(Reading database ... 174112 files and directories currently installed.)

Could you let me know what could have gone wrong?

Thank you

  • you are trying to reinstall package which is already installed in your system. You can try to comment out faulty code in /var/lib/dpkg/info/rvi.prerm to complete removal (before clean new install) or [use --force-all flag](https://stackoverflow.com/a/9346697/12396017) – Maxim Sagaydachny Jun 10 '20 at 06:02
  • Before re-installation, I tried to run a test to register a service as "hello", but it failed. this is the error I got: (socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused) – AzSh Jun 10 '20 at 23:06
