Howdy, and thank you for helping to improve lirc and Ubuntu by opening this ticket. The DpkgTerminalLog attached by turul69 has the following:
Setting up lirc (0.8.6-0ubuntu2) ... reload: Unknown instance: invoke-rc.d: initscript udev, action "reload" failed. @turul69: did you resolve this issue, or is it still occuring? Note to others: unfortunately the top-level error message (in this case "package lirc (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1") is a very generic message and the underlying reason for that message can be different. Before saying that this bug affects you too, please check your DpkgTerminalLog and if it doesn't have the above message referring to "initscript udev, action "reload" failed." towards the end, please open a new ticket. ** Changed in: lirc (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- package lirc (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/470175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to lirc in ubuntu.
