Problem removing interface br0 and dependencies

[banderas20]

Hello,

the other day I installed the package "bridge-utils" and added a br0 interface. Now I have purged the package and removed the lines regarding br0 from interfaces file by hand.
However, after "service networking restart" and "ifconfig", br0 is still there.

I have issued an apt-get autoremove to uninstall dependency packages, with no success.

Now I have 2 packages which I have tried to uninstall, that look like this:

pi libatk-adaptor:amd64
pi libatk-bridge2.0-0:amd64

If I try to purge them, it complains:

dpkg --purge libatk-adaptor:amd64
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libatk-adaptor:amd64:
 python3-pyatspi depends on libatk-adaptor (>= 2.11.2).

dpkg: error processing package libatk-adaptor:amd64 (--purge):
 dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libatk-adaptor:amd64

¿what does "pi" mean? ¿How can I workaround the dependency problems?

¿Any help?

Thanks and regards!

You can use brctl command (read its manual first):

The command brctl delbr <name> deletes the instance <name> of the ethernet bridge. The network interface corresponding to the bridge must be down before it can be deleted!

Not tested but should be something like:

ip link set dev eth0 down     # or `ifconfig eth0 down`
brctl delbr br0

replacing eth0 with the interface holding the bridge, and restarting network service
