Thanks for the suggestion. I have made that change to /var/lib/dpkg/info/lxdm.postinst (note - NOT lightdm's postinst - I can't find that in /var/lib/dpkg/info/).
I wasn't certain what I was supposed to do next, so I then tried "dpkg --configure -a" again. It failed again and I attach its log. Please let me know if I should have tried something else. ** Attachment added: "dpkg-configure-a.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1045285/+attachment/3293884/+files/dpkg-configure-a.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045285 Title: lucid upgrade to precise fails (lxdm: subprocess installed post- installation script returned error exit status 1) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxdm/+bug/1045285/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
