Thanks for your report. It is confirmed in lucid dict-xdict 0.1-4
To workaround this error, edit the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/dict-xdict.postrm as superuser and add the line exit 0 at the second line (just below #!/bin/sh) Then open a terminal and run: $ sudo dpkg --purge dict-xdict This will remove the broken package. ** Changed in: dict-xdict (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: dict-xdict (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #566556 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=566556 ** Also affects: dict-xdict (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=566556 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Description changed: Binary package hint: dict-xdict Everytime I update.
