I’m trying to remove WSJT-X Improved from my Pi 400 running Bookworm. I get the following when trying to remove/purge:

pi@KO3F:~ $ sudo apt remove --purge wsjtx
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
?wsjtx
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 53 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 60.0 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

dpkg: error processing package wsjtx (--remove):

dpkg: too many errors, stopping
Errors were encountered while processing:
wsjtx
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
pi@KO3F:~ $

Can anyone provide a solution as to how to completely remove the program without reimagine the SD card? I can’t upgrade any packages until this is resolved. Thanks

Where did you get and install this wsjtx package from?? It clearly has issues if it's trying to uninstall things from /tmp.? Anyway, I've dealt with similar issues by simply re-creating the "missing" files and then retry the uninstallation:

? touch /tmp/wsjtx-install-home.txt
?? sudo apt remove --purge wsjtx

Thanks. It’s the WSJT-X improved arm64.deb file using the Package Installer. I’ll try this and let you know.
