[Desktop-packages] [Bug 647349] Re: package software-center 2.0.7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1.
Hello Evan Peck. Thanks for your attachment and the script to fix this. Unfortunately it contains lines like: sudo chmod a=rwx $pathusc that will give all users write permissions to the application, this would potentially allow a malicious non-admin user on the system to add trojan code to software-center to steal e.g. authentication keys for purchases. This is why I deleted the attachment. If you have more insight in the bug itself I would love to talk what we can do to fix this in a way that does not involve chmod a=rwx. ** Patch removed: "LucidUSCFix - Glacier" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/647349/+attachment/3185872/+files/luciduscfix.tar.gz ** Also affects: python-central (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - package software-center 2.0.7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1. + package software-center 2.0.7 failed to install/upgrade with python-central error on 9.10 -> 10.04 upgrade -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647349 Title: package software-center 2.0.7 failed to install/upgrade with python- central error on 9.10 -> 10.04 upgrade Status in “python-central” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: software-center The report on the error came after I had updated the system using Update Manager.

OK, I came up with a workaround. 1. Download luciduscfix.tar.gz - see attatched file. 2. Put it in your home folder. 3. Right-click it and "Extract here" 4. Open a fresh terminal window. 5. "cd luciduscfix" 6. "./fixit.sh" 7. Follow onscreen directions. There will be some funky errors, don't mind them, it works. Also, if you are not for-sure experiencing this exact bug, DO NOT use this. Just don't. Muchas Gracias!

So, Ubuntu 10.04 is the most recent LTS. Ubuntu Software Center 2.0.7 is the latest version available in Ubuntu 10.04. And it seems like a lot of people are getting an error when trying to update to 2.0.7. For those three reasons, though it is a really old version, I'm tentatively marking this as High. If we can issue a 2.0.8 that fixes the problem, I think we should. To those people who reported duplicates of this bug, where I recently suggested that the bug might have been fixed since, I apologize: I hadn't realized the problem still occurs. The earliest report of this problem is from 2010-08-18 (three weeks after 2.0.7 was released), and the most recent is from 2011-07-24. ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647349 Title: package software-center 2.0.7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1.
