This is happening to me in Ubuntu 12.04, during a regular upgrade since I installed monodevelop (aldough it may be an update performed this same day).
I guess the key is "/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default doesn't exist." Does it make any sense to "touch" it , and then retry the upgrade? will this break anything, or will it work? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to im-switch in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838934 Title: package im-switch 1.20ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Status in “im-switch” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Upgrade from 11.04 failed with im-switch unable to be upgraded (or installed).
