package moodle 2.2.6.dfsg-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Kedar Apte]

I uninstalled mysql, apache before removing moodle. When I uninstalled moodle, it asked me if I would like to purge the moodle database and clicked 'Yes'. Since there was no mysql database, it returned the error and aborted the moodle installation.

I used apt-get remove moodle for removing the installed moodle package. When I installed moodle, I used the default moodle package that came in the raring ringtail's repos.

Hope this helps :)
