Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libuuid1
Any packages like libvolumeid0 (see below) that depend on libuuid1 for /usr/bin/uuidgen will fail to install if e2fsprogs is not installed because uuidgen is really in e2fsprogs, not libuuid1. Obviously these packages should depend on e2fsprogs instead and presumably e2fsprogs in turn depends on libuuid1. Example of apt-get output follows Setting up libvolumeid0 (093-0ubuntu5) ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/libvolumeid0.postinst: 158: uuidgen: not found dpkg: error processing libvolumeid0 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 ** Affects: e2fsprogs (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- /usr/bin/uuidgen in e2fsprogs, not in libuuid1 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54058 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
