I've marked it as duplicate, because the error in log file is the same. In both reports virtualbox-ose pre-instalation script fails. Here is the error message: 2008-05-16 06:49:16,990 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: '/var/cache/apt/archives/virtualbox-ose_1.5.6-dfsg-6ubuntu1_i386.deb': 'subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 ' 2008-05-16 06:49:16,990 DEBUG running apport_pkgfailure() virtualbox-ose: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 2008-05-16 06:49:17,030 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: '/var/cache/apt/archives/virtualbox-ose_1.5.6-dfsg-6ubuntu1_i386.deb': 'subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 The update manager didn't fail to upgrade itself.

It means that the whole upgrade/instalation process failed. And from log files we know that it is virtualbox causing the problem. I hope I answered your question. -- package update-manager 1:0.87.27 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1), E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231042 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
