Ubuntu 14.04 Purging ElasticSeach












0















I installed elasticsearch 6.6.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 but ran into some difficulties. I wish to completely uninstall elasticsearch and install an older version. When I ran



sudo apt-get --purge autoremove elasticsearch


An error message popped out:



Removing elasticsearch (6.6.1) ...
Stopping elasticsearch service...Failed to issue method call: Unit elasticsearch.service not loaded.
dpkg: error processing package elasticsearch (--remove):
subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 5
Failed to issue method call: Unit systemd-sysctl.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status systemd-sysctl.service' for details.
### NOT starting on installation, please execute the following statements to configure elasticsearch service to start automatically using systemd
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch.service
### You can start elasticsearch service by executing
sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service
chown: cannot access ‘/var/lib/elasticsearch’: No such file or directory
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
elasticsearch


I am not sure about the elasticseach.service as I don't think I have that file. I also already used



sudo rm -rf /var/lib/elasticsearch/
sudo rm -rf /etc/elasticsearch


I tried to reinstall elasticsearch and then use the uninstall but using the apt-get install elasticsearch yielded a similar error:



Setting up elasticsearch (6.6.1) ...
Failed to issue method call: Unit systemd-sysctl.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status systemd-sysctl.service' for details.
chown: cannot access ‘/var/lib/elasticsearch’: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package elasticsearch (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
elasticsearch
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Before I realized I should probably use apt-get to remove elasticsearch, I am not sure if I screw up there. Any help is appreciated!
