Something looks wrong with your Python installation. From DpkgTerminalLog.txt:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 68, in <module> import os File "/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 49, in <module> import posixpath as path File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 1 /. ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax This should not happen unless some random junk got into the posixpath library. Try reinstalling libpython2.7-minimal, which provides that library: apt-get --reinstall libpython2.7-minimal ** Changed in: variety (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628561 Title: package variety 0.6.0-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/variety/+bug/1628561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
