Disabling additional executable binary formats: Sorry, update-binfmts currently only works on Linux. invoke-rc.d: initscript binfmt-support, action "stop" failed. dpkg: error processing binfmt-support (--purge): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 Enabling additional executable binary formats: Sorry, update-binfmts currently only works on Linux. invoke-rc.d: initscript binfmt-support, action "start" failed. dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
