Thanks mneno, you've got it. The error is most probably triggered by the following part of the virtualbox-ose.preinst script in 2.0.2 ============= if [ "$1" = "upgrade" -a "$new" != "$old" ]; then db_title Upgrading virtualbox-ose db_fset virtualbox-ose/upstream_version_change seen false db_input high virtualbox-ose/upstream_version_change || true db_go db_get virtualbox-ose/upstream_version_change || true if [ "$RET" = false ]; then db_stop exit 1 fi db_stop fi ========
Can anyone confirm that you've answered "no" to the question "Proceed with virtualbox-ose upgrade despite losing snapshots?" ? Thanks in advance. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #500101 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500101 ** Also affects: virtualbox-ose (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500101 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- package virtualbox-ose 2.0.2-dfsg-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272054 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
