Forgot to mention that your solution will also not work (cleanly) because the cups package is a dependency for numerous other packages. Trying to do it anyway, the cups error still returns and the package is not uninstalled.
So, it seems this is to remain broken until the Ubuntu folks decide to fix it, or I defect to a more stable distro. -- package cups 1.3.9-2ubuntu7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333593 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
