Either way, this is a seriously bad bug, that I thought that I had dealt with definitively before. (by setting line in "/var/lib/dpkg/info/kvm.postinst" to "update-rc.d kvm defaults >/dev/null") Will file this as a new bug under apt, but I do not know if this is a package-specific issue, or apt-wide -- apt-get/aptitude fails to install KVM via recommended update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375825 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
