Can't remove, purge, unistall mongodb from debian


To avoid that sort of problems you should install software only from native Debian repositories. Unfortunately it is not unusual when sloppy/incompetent 3rd party packages are responsible for such troubles.

To recover try removing file /var/lib/dpkg/info/mongodb-org-server.postinst before attempting to apt-get purge mongodb.


Remove all mongodb file inside

/var/lib/dpkg/info/mongodb

And then do

sudo apt purge mongodb-org*
