PhilipME,
Are you using a vanilla Debian install from their website? If so, LinuxCNC is not installed by default so you should be safe to proceed and skip that step.
If LinuxCNC is already installed (not run-in-place) then I'm not sure what's going on.
If you're ONLY using run-in-place, you can also skip the purge command as well, but do not try to use the run-in-place instance as it will not work with RTAI unless you've built it against the RTAI kernel debs that are listed in the first post of this thread.
Sorry if I confused you
I edited this post so many times because I am working full time on this error
this is the final edit I hope. Next time I will have new entry for the edit
so when I dpkg three of the files, I get no errors
only linuxcnc_2.9.2_amd64.deb gives me the error above
