Hi Stefan, when I open Synaptic Package Manager it tells me that "I have a broken package", referring to smtpguard. When I try to delete it, the program returns this: "E: smtpguard: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1". Looking at the details, I read the next:
<<...Removing smtpguar... Stopping smtpguard: invoke-rc. d: initscript smtpguard, action "stop" failed. dpkg: error processing smtpguard (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 update-re.d: warning: /etc/init.d/smtpguard missing LSB information update-re.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts> Starting smtpguard: smtpguard-daemon. Errors were encountered while processing: smtpguard E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned and error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover:>> I installed Kubuntu 9.04 by upgrading 8.10. It is since then I have this problem. I visited "https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/smtpguard/+bugs"; and I would say my problem is the bug 353984. Because of this bug I can't install many other programs and I guess it is also the reason I can't install the upgrades. I also tried to install the upstream from http://sourceforge.net/projects/flexguard/, but it is impossible because of the same problem with smtpguard. I hope this information can help. Thanks again.
