Upgrading to Gutsy from Feisty I found the uninstall of the earlier version failed because the pre-remove script failed, possibly because the earlier spamass-milter wasn't running in the first place, which in turn was probably because it was trying to establish a .pid file in /var/run/sendmail, a directory that didn't exist. I created a sendmail directory (as root) under /var/run, started spamass-milter (/etc/init.d /spamass-milter start), and tried again to upgrade spamass-milter. It worked.
Wish I'd figured that out before I blew away the kids PC to re-install from scratch after the upgrade from Dapper to Gutsy failed for the same reason. Still, they've got a nice fresh install now ... :) Mike -- [apport] package spamass-milter failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109053 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
