OK, I could at least fix my issue by a VERY dirty hack: $ cd /var/lib/emacsen-common/state
Since the 'package' directory does not exist, let's symlink to it so the installation script will find the stuff it needs: $ sudo ln -s package flavor Password: $ Now it will install. (at least) ... though not without a hiccup: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: 26: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: cmake-data: not found Install cmake-data for dictionaries-common install/cmake-data: Byte-compiling for dictionaries-common /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: 26: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: dictionaries-common: not found Install cmake-data for emacsen-common install/cmake-data: Byte-compiling for emacsen-common /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: 26: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: emacsen-common: not found Setting up cmake (2.8.12.2-0ubuntu6) ... At least I *think* one can live with that solution for the time being, since without my hack, cmake-data will NOT INSTALL AT ALL. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278807 Title: package cmake 2.6.0-4ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cmake/+bug/278807/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
