This appears to be complaining about a missing /var/log/couchdb directory. After manually creating this directory, couchdb installs with no errors but doesn't appear to be a valid installation. Running '/etc/init.d/couchdb start' appears to run successfully but '/etc/init.d/couchdb status' doesn't output anything and nothing is running on port 5984. -- package couchdb (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448979 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
