So at least in my case, the error was something like: > running python rtupdate hooks for python3.2... > Usage: py3clean [-V VERSION] [-p PACKAGE | DIR_OR_FILE]
and it was happening because I had a ".rtupdate" file that included the command > py3clean -p ubuntu-drivers-common /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common which is apparently invalid because it's trying to clean a directory _and_ a package at the same time. MY WORKAROUND: I edited the affected .rtupdate file to separate that out into 2 commands, and that fixed it for me -- e.g. to say instead: > py3clean -p ubuntu-drivers-common > py3clean /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common You can see if you have any files with a broken py3clean command using a command like this: > for x in `locate "*rtupdate"`; do grep py3clean $x; done and then skimming the results for commands that include both "-p packagename" and a file path. (you may need to run "sudo updatedb" for 'locate' to provide up-to-date results) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1023577 Title: package python3 3.2.3-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1023577/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
