Note: There seem to be multiple active bug reports regarding this problem, including one previously submitted by me. These might need to all be merged together.
OS: xubuntu 14.10 Error occurred when installing the evolution packages using synaptic. In my case the error message are as follows: Spamassassin subprocess post-install script returned error status 102 sa-compile dependency problems -- leaving unconfigured. Note the exit status of 102 differs from the one reported by the original reporter. This is the second time that spamassassin has screwed up my system. The previous time was when I attempted to install sendmail. The package database got so screwed up that I had to wipe the system and do a complete reinstall. After that fresh install, I encountered a similar problem with the udev package which is currently active as bug 1406735. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1406735 Eventually, rerunning the udev post-install script manually seemed to clear that problem. Then, as I reinstalled old software packages I ran back into this. From experience, I know that until this error is cleared, any further attempt to install packages will just lead to further corruptions. The last time this happend to me, I was unable to remove certain packages or install other new ones due to the package database errors that proliferated. This is a serious problem that needs immediate investigation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400669 Title: package spamassassin 3.4.0-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/spamassassin/+bug/1400669/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
