The real error here is found in term.log: Preparing to replace virtualbox-ose 1.5.0-dfsg2-1ubuntu3 (using .../virtualbox-ose_1.5.6-dfsg-6ubuntu1_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/virtualbox-ose_1.5.6-dfsg- 6ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Visual inspection of the preinst doesn't turn up any likely culprits to me. 'exit 1' precludes this being a debconf problem, leaving either the conffile handling or the udev handling as possibilities. Is this is reproducible with a clean install of and upgrade from gutsy, by any chance? -- package virtualbox-ose 1.5.0-dfsg2-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: "package virtualbox-ose is already installed and configured" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
