Copying the file "/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/xulrunner" from another machine fixed the problem. The file was deleted upon purging the package "xulrunner-1.9", while the package "xulrunner-1.9.1" was still installed. Successfully re-installed "xulrunner-1.9" afterwards, which is required by "firefox".
What triggered the problem? Was it caused by installing "shiretoko" without removing "firefox"? -- package xulrunner-1.9 1.9.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370093 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
