This appears to be a race condition when emacsen-common and cmake are installed simultaneously. If cmake is configured first, an error occurs. if emacsen-common is configured first, it will probably work.
I believe that if we add emacsen-common to the list of dependencies for the cmake package, it should solve the problem. Assuming emacsen-common is an optional dependency, is not a missing required dependency, and is being installed at the same time as cmake, is there any way to force emacsen-common to run its post-installation scripts first if emacsen-common is present and has not been configured? -- package cmake 2.6.0-4ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278807 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
