    Bypassing the Pre-Removal Script by manually modifying the failing script to allow the removal process to proceed.

    1. Locate the Script: sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/android-androresolvd.prerm

    2. Comment Out the Contents: Add a # at the beginning of every line in the script to effectively disable it, or replace its contents with:

    #!/bin/bash
exit 0
    1. Save and Exit.
    2. Retry Removal: sudo dpkg --remove android-androresolvd
