As far as I can tell it was created by a previous version of the git package (possibly from the git ppa?), the link (and another that caused almost the same failure) was already pointing to the same place. On my own system I fixed the issue by removing the two links (git.el and git-blame.el) before re-running dpkg. I've prepared a version of the git package that changes ln -s to ln -sf in the relevant script to work around the error, but I don't know if that's a good way to solve the issue, or if it might cause any other problems, so I haven't uploaded it anywhere yet (also noone else has reported or confirmed it so maybe it was just my system in the first place...) -- Matt Wheeler m...@funkyhat.org -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/722946 Title: package git 1:1.7.4.1-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Okay.

Well, in any case I can confirm and reproduce this issue as of git 1:1.7.4.1-1 by either a) Have an Ubuntu 10.10 system with both emacs and git installed, and then upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 b) Have an Ubuntu 11.04 system where git and emacs is installed at the same time. It doesn't matter whatever emacsen-common is installed beforehand or not. ** Changed in: git (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Summary changed: - package git 1:1.7.4.1-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 + git post-installation script fails if emacs and git is installed at the same time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/722946 Title: git post-installation script fails if emacs and git is installed at the same time. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
