Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
My upgrade was incomplete due to this error. I'm now attempting to fix it, as it may have been caused by the lack of space in my hard-disk. Also the installation of MySQL-server-5.1 package(upgrade) took a long time with no progress, so I killed the Update window using 'xkill' then when I tried to run update again. It showed some error related to unavailability of 'lock' at /var/lib/dpkg/ So, I remove that file by using sudo rm. Then the update manager suggested to fix the broken updates first by running- sudo dpkg --configure -a So, I did that. Also it suggested me to do- sudo apt-get install -f I did that as well. After that I ran the upgrade and atb the end of it I got the message(posting only the last part)- ' Errors were encountered while processing: gdm man-db linux-headers-2.6.32-29-generic flashplugin-installer opera mysql-server-5.1 linux-headers-generic mysql-server ' ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-28.55-generic 2.6.32.27+drm33.12 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-28-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: wl Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Feb 12 12:03:55 2011 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Beta i386 (20100406.1) SourcePackage: gdm Title: package gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-package i386 lucid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/717587 Title: package gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
