Can't uninstall ipkg completely, which prevent ipkg reinstallation

[Google Code Exporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installed lots of Alt-F packages
2. Clicked the "Remove All" button by mistake instead of Remove button for one 
single package.
3. Ended of with an error, see attached screenshot.
4. Now I cannot install back ipkg, because it hasn't been uninstalled 
completely in the first place.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect that te autofs umount command works, so that ipkg can delete the 
/mnt/md0/Alt-F/ folder and complete uninstallation of ipkg.

What Alt-F version are you using? Have you flashed it?

RC3 Flashed

What is the box hardware revision level? A1, B1 or C1? (look at the label at 
the box bottom)

A1

What is your disk configuration? Standard, RAID (what level)...

RAID1

What operating system are you using on your computer? Using what browser?

Win7 x64 w/SP1 & Firefox 21.0

Please provide any additional information below.

I've tried the following command via telnet:

1. rcall stop
2. ipkg -clean
3. aufs.sh -u

#mount: mounting aufs on / failed: Device or resources busy
#Resulted error: Unmointing /mnt/md0/Alt-F/ aufs branch failed, stop all 
services first.

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
