Hi Michael, looking at this issue, it seems that the problem is being caused by by the preinst script. When inspecing the preinst script in the package, I have found this:
------------------ #!/bin/sh set -e # Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2 dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/update-motd.d/99-esm 19.1~ ubuntu-advantage-tools -- "$@" # End automatically added section # Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2 dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/update-motd.d/80-esm 19.1~ ubuntu-advantage-tools -- "$@" # End automatically added section # Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2 dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/update-motd.d/80-livepatch 19.1~ ubuntu-advantage-tools -- "$@" # End automatically added section # Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2 dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/cron.daily/ubuntu-advantage-tools 19.1~ ubuntu-advantage-tools -- "$@" # End automatically added section # Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2 dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/init/ua-auto-attach.conf 20.2~ ubuntu-advantage-tools -- "$@" # End automatically added section ~ ------------------------------------------------- It is trying to remove some config files related to the package. Can you verify if you have any of those files in your system ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1939951 Title: package ubuntu-advantage-tools 17 failed to install/upgrade: new ubuntu-advantage-tools package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-advantage-tools/+bug/1939951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
