This error happened after Upgrade Manager attempted its routine update today. Update Manager failed and suggested running 'dpkg --configure -a' to fix the problem. I ran this as root and it reported a failure to run system-tools-backends. Reboot was successful, but now whenever Synaptic or Update Manager is run it seems to successfully install packages but ends with the same system-tools-backends subprocess error. The apt/term.log showed: Log started: 2008-11-06 15:30:32 Setting up system-tools-backends (2.6.0-1ubuntu1.1) ... * Starting System Tools Backends system-tools-backends invoke-rc.d: initscript system-tools-backends, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing system-tools-backends (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: system-tools-backends Log ended: 2008-11-06 15:30:35
