[code]
sudo dpkg --configure -a[/code]

Ran that command and then [code]sudo apt-get purge tftpd-hpa[/code] and got the same error.

[code]sudo apt-get -f install tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get purge tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa
sudo apt-get -f tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa[/code]

Debian

Make a copy of your /images folder. And export your current database from fog to a flash drive. This will allow us to keep your database and image files to alleviate the stress of setting up a new server
