The reason this is happening is because the function `_link_manpages` in the file `/usr/share/postgresql-common/maintscripts-functions` searches for the string "auto mode" in the output of the command `update- alternatives --display postmaster.1.gz 2> /dev/null` however (since both mine and his system are using the german locale the string that is printed by `update-alternatives` is actually "Auto-Modus".
I can't test this anymore (applied the workaround given below already), but the solution would probably be to change the problematic command to `env LANGUAGE=C update-alternatives --display postmaster.1.gz 2> /dev/null`. WORKAROUND: * Run this command: sudo update-alternatives --remove postmaster.1.gz /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/man/man1/postmaster.1.gz * Retry the upgrade using: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293596 Title: package postgresql-client-9.3 9.3.3-1bzr2 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: Unterprozess installiertes post-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 2 zurück To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-9.3/+bug/1293596/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
