I can confirm this... I have exactly the same thing (subprocess new pre- removal script returned error) which re-occurs with each sypnaptic run.
I reported it with [Bug 292046] 11/01/08 .... Michael Vogt asked for more information (11/03/08) ... which I forwarded. Jean-Baptiste Lallement closed the bug 11/22/2008 We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again! ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid Still, the funny thing is that a) the bug team got "rid" of 1 more bug (by closing it) b) the problem still persists on my PC c) I am not alone ;) d) there were no "previous comments" as mentioned above.
