Public bug reported: I installed sylpheed-claws-gtk2 on my Dapper computer. Then I tried installing sylpheed-claws-gtk2-plugins using Synaptic.
The installation terminates with the following error messages: E: clamav-base: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: clamav-freshclam: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: clamav: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: sylpheed-claws-gtk2-clamav: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: sylpheed-claws-gtk2-plugins: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured The following is what was visible in the "terminal" in synaptic when installation was complete: Preconfiguring packages ...
