Hi, Same problem for me with package lilypond-doc_2.18.0-1_all.deb. I've filled a new bug (#1364616) in which I give the log of installation. And I noticed the error :
"dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: original symlink target is not an absolute path" I've extracted the file lilypond-doc_2.18.0-1_all.deb and when I go in directory lilypond-doc_2.18.0-1_all/DEBIAN there some files (see attachment) which all contains a command which lead to an error when I'm trying to execute : sebastien@utopic:~$ dpkg-maintscript-helper supports symlink_to_dir dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME missing dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE missing I don't know if that could be linked to the bug. But someone more experienced in deb package structure will probably confirm if I'm wrong or right. Thank you for your help. ** Attachment added: "preinst" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lilypond/+bug/1363820/+attachment/4200815/+files/preinst -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1363820 Title: Attempting upgrade to Utopic Unicorn - "package lilypond-doc 2.16.2-3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lilypond/+bug/1363820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
