Hi Michael, thanks for the context . I think we can try to manually run the preinst script of the package to better understand what is failing. Currently, I can't pinpoint an exact reason for it if you don't have any of those files.
Also, it seems you are installing an older version of ubuntu-advantage-tools, 17 The package is already at version 27.2.2 if you enable the focal-updates pocket in your source.list. However, maybe you can't do that, but I just want to let you know about it. Also, I just realized that the preinst script for version 17 is different from the one that I posted: ------------------------- #!/bin/sh set -e # Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu1 dpkg-maintscript-helper mv_conffile /etc/update-motd.d/99-livepatch /etc/update-motd.d/80-livepatch 15~ -- "$@" # End automatically added section # Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu1 dpkg-maintscript-helper mv_conffile /etc/update-motd.d/99-esm /etc/update-motd.d/80-esm 15~ -- "$@" # End automatically added section ------------------------------------ You can get the preinst script of the package you are trying to install by: 1) apt-get download ubuntu-advantage-tools=17 2) dpkg-deb -e DEB_FILE OUTPUT_DIR -- 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
