I did an upgrade from jaunty to karmic, and did not hit this problem. The current version is a bit newer (2.10.1-0ubuntu2). There's nothing obvious in its preinst script that would indicate failure.
If you can reproduce this, could you run the preinst script with the -x option so we have a chance to see where it fails? Failing that, I'm afraid there's not much we can do to debug this. The DpkgTerminalLog doesn't actually have any useful information apart from the bit that says that it is the preinst script that failed. Because of that, if no new information can be found, I'll close this bug report in a week. -- package libc6 2.9-4ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407278 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
