a workaround is to stop timidity manually: sudo killall timidity and afterwards run: sudo apt-get install
then the package should finish installing cleanly and the really anoying mesages every update are gone. For the package maintainer: The problem is that timidity simply starts itself. If it is already running(eg. on update) there is no point where the runing instance is stopped. So if you add a stop command just before the installation or right before the start command everything should without errors. I have no idea how to fix that with a patch or so but that should not be too hard to do. greetings enaut -- timidity failed to upgrade: "Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation..." failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
