After attempting a reinstall, I got the error again: this time, however, I checked /var/log/syslog, and found this little gem:
"May 7 17:40:31 ubuntu ubiquity: Removing ecryptfs-utils ... May 7 17:40:31 ubuntu ubiquity: ERROR: Cannot remove ecryptfs-utils, as it appears to be in use: May 7 17:40:31 ubuntu ubiquity: [/home/chris/.ecryptfs] May 7 17:40:31 ubuntu ubiquity: dpkg: error processing ecryptfs-utils (--purge): May 7 17:40:31 ubuntu ubiquity: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" That would make sense; that directory does indeed exist, AFAIK. I'll try deleting it; however, this bug still applies, and results in a very broken system. (I also have screenshots of every GUI error, in case anyone is interested) -- package ecryptfs-utils 73-0ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372404 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
