I had this problem while installing mpd, I found that even after apt-get remove mpd
the file mpd remained in /etc/init.d/ Upon deleting this file the instalation worked fine. uname -r 2.6.27-10-generic -- package mpd 0.13.2-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291550 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
