I looked into this bug even though it's not in the Ubuntu package. The postrm is failing with exitcode 2. After analysing the postrm, and having made some tries, I believe that it's the "apt-key rm 5044912E" (function uninstall_key) that is failing and returning. ┏(ubuntu-devel-i386) rivendell:~/tmp ┗(511)$ sudo apt-key rm 5044912E gpg: key "5044912E" not found: eof gpg: 5044912E: delete key failed: eof ┏(ubuntu-devel-i386) rivendell:~/tmp ┗(512)$ echo $? 2 I would suggest to stop relying on apt-key and instead you should provide a keyring file in /usr/share/keyrings/ and just put a symlink to this file in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ in the postinst configure (and drop that symlink in the postrm purge). It's cleaner. Otherwise you should either ignore the failure "apt-key rm" or only call it after having it checked that the key to remove is still in APT's keyring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/937546 Title: package nautilus-dropbox (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+bug/937546/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
