So, they didn't word that particular post properly. What they're saying is to run one of the two following commands.
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a;sudo aptitude full-upgrade *OR* $ sudo dpkg --configure --pending; sudo aptitude full-upgrade *NOT* $ sudo dpkg --configure -a or sudo dpkg --configure --pending; sudo aptitude full-upgrade The command just above is what's causing your error. Also, when they say to add `exit 0` after `set -e` they mean as a separate command. set -e exit 0 This will cause the post install script to exit without doing anything, but `exit 0` must be on a new line. Try making those two changes & see if it helps.
