Finally I am back at my ubuntu box and can check file contents myself. My advice in #31 is not fully right - there is no line ...gconf- schemas.. in that file. SO you should do the following:
Open a terminal enter the command gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/update-manager.prerm This will ask four your password, and then open an editor with a file open. The file that is shown starts with #!/bin/sh set -e # Automatically added by dh_pycentral Change the second line by inserting "# " (without quotes) at the beginning of the line that it reads #!/bin/sh # set -e # Automatically added by dh_pycentral Close the editor saving the file In a terminal enter the command sudo apt-get --purge remove update-manager | tee ~/Desktop/Purge2 and append the resulting Purge2 file here again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/697568 Title: package update-manager 1:0.134.11 [modified: usr/share/gconf/schemas /update-manager.schemas] 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
