Confirmed, thanks for reporting this bug. Here are steps I've used to be able to reproduce this bug, starting from a clean install with no Octave packages installed:
# apt-get install -y octave-bim octave-msh # apt-get install -y libhdf5-dev libhdf5-openmpi-7- The error message is the same: Removing octave-bim (1.1.3-1) ... Removing octave-msh (1.0.6-1) ... Removing gmsh (2.8.3+dfsg-4ubuntu2) ... Removing libmed1:amd64 (3.0.6-2ubuntu1) ... dpkg: libhdf5-openmpi-7:amd64: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested: liboctave2:amd64 depends on libhdf5-7; however: Package libhdf5-7 is not installed. Package libhdf5-openmpi-7:amd64 which provides libhdf5-7 is to be removed. Removing libhdf5-openmpi-7:amd64 (1.8.11-5ubuntu7) ... Processing triggers for octave (3.8.1-1ubuntu1) ... /usr/bin/octave-cli: error while loading shared libraries: libhdf5.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing package octave (--remove): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127 and the system is left without any libhdf5* packages installed. Running # apt-get -f install does what it's supposed to do, fixes the problem by installing the missing dependency, libhdf5-7 in this case, but libhdf5-dev is not installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1482007 Title: package octave 3.8.1-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave/+bug/1482007/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
