MongoDB installation problems Linux Mint Debian

Question

MongoDB did not install correctly because of some Dpkg errors. Trying to purge or remove anything related just comes with the error. I have tried deleting all of the Mongodb libs and did a search for other files. I am not sure what caused the original error or how to get the system back to a workable state:

Setting up mongodb-org-server (2.6.5) ...
invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/mongod not found.
dpkg: error processing mongodb-org-server (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 100
Errors were encountered while processing:
mongodb-org-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This is the original installation command

$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Try using this init script. init.d

If you previously installed MongoDB, uninstall it first.

To delete МongoDB. sudo apt-get remove mongodb-10gen After that delete confing files and init scripts sudo find /etc/ | grep mongod.* | xargs rm -rf sudo find /usr/bin/ | grep mongod.* | xargs rm -rf sudo find /var/lib/ | grep mongod.* | xargs rm -rf

Warning! /var/lib/ may contain your databases.

Install MongoDB
