Thank you for the report. The postrm script could not remove the wireshark system group because it is not a system group:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/317773706/DpkgTerminalLog.txt : Removing wireshark-common (2.0.2+ga16e22e-1) ... Purging configuration files for wireshark-common (2.0.2+ga16e22e-1) ... Removing wireshark group... The group `wireshark' is not a system group. Exiting. Could not remove wireshark group. dpkg: error processing package wireshark-common (--purge): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 128 Most likely the group has been created manually and not by the wireshark-common's postinst. Please remove the wireshark group manually using: sudo delgroup wireshark The root cause of failure in postinst is using "echo" instead of a debconf note and the fix will correct this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687344 Title: package wireshark-common 2.0.2+ga16e22e-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 128 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wireshark/+bug/1687344/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
