This is really unlickely a boinc bug, rather a dpkg one (or linux one). I have the same configuration as you, and I never faced such a problem, and neither I ever saw this kind of bug on boinc.
I would like if possible to have more informations about your system, if it was up-to-date prior to install boinc, and all the information that might help fixing the issue. However as said before, this is unlickely a boinc bug. ** Package changed: boinc (Ubuntu) => dpkg (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1334864 Title: boinc-manager 7.2.42+gfsg-1 brick 14.04 new clean install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1334864/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
