Hi, I experienced the exact same issue as described above. Likewise it suggested to run apt-get -f install after which I ended up with the same error as described above.
The following did the trick for me: 1) make sure that the files in the directories it is complaining about have either the correct permissions and owner (e.g., "www-data") or move them temporarily such that the folders are empty: the 2 relevant messages / directories are : dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: directory '/var/lib/roundcube/config' contains files not owned by package roundcube-core:all, cannot switch to symlink dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: directory '/usr/share/doc/roundcube' contains files not owned by package roundcube:all, cannot switch to symlink 2)Manually (re)install the roundcube-core package as follwos (order is important due to dependencies): dpkg --auto-deconfigure -i /var/cache/apt/archives/roundcube- core_1.2~beta+dfsg.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb 3)Manually (re)install the roundcube package as follows: dpkg --auto-deconfigure -i /var/cache/apt/archives/roundcube_1.2~beta+dfsg.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb 4) adapt / overwrite your (pre-)existing configs if necessary/appropriate, enter your data / credentials in the subsequent dialog, reload services and be (hopefully) happy again :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607705 Title: package roundcube-core 1.2~beta+dfsg.1-0ubuntu1 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/ubuntu/+source/roundcube/+bug/1607705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
