Well, I was trying usual ways of recovering a broken installation (redoing apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, dpkg --configure -a, with aptitude instead of apt-get).
After despairing, just about to overwrite everything with a fresh install from USB, I just decided that, given that the error logs showed that the 1st strange thing was: running python rtupdate hooks for python3.3... dpkg-query: package 'ubiquity-frontend-gtk' is not installed I decided to give ubiquity-frontend-gtk a try and, voilà, everything solved. I am now writing this on my perfectly working 13.10 Ubuntu. My machine is an i7-4770K with 16 GB RAM and SSD+HHD setup, bought in July. Ubuntu 13.04 was installed (fresh) when bought. However, as the technician at the shop did it, I don't know whether he tweaked something and my machine had a particular wrong setting (he told me that he had issues with the brand-new hardware) regarding this "ubiquity" stuff or whether my set of installed packages triggered a wrong ubiquity dependence. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244198 Title: package python3 3.3.2-14ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1244198/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
