I created and booted into an Ubuntu 8.04 i386 (2.6.24-16-generic) persistent pendrive. Synaptic showed a large number of updates available (272). I selected approximately the first 50 and they installed fine. The next 50 included the hal 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu3 package which failed to install with the above error message. Re-attempts to install the package by itself and with other packages failed. Running dpkg --configure -a also failed but with the message: Setting up hal (0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu8.1) ... * Reloading system message bus config... * Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald invoke-rc.d: initscript hal, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing hal (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: hal
I could not proceed with installing any other packages. Recreating and booting into a new persistent pendrive and ONLY selecting the single hal package in synaptic resulted in the same fail and error message. -- package hal 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206634 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
