@RedSingularity: I would prefer using the standard package tools to correct the problem if possible, and not start removing files which will leave the apt database in an inconsistent state with a package half-installed.
It seems that creating an empty /usr/share/gconf/schemas/update- manager.schemas file did not work, so I would recommend to put a valid /usr/share/gconf/schemas/update-manager.schemas file there and try the apt-get remove command again. (I am currently sitting on a Win box, so I cannot provide the file). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/697568 Title: package update-manager 1:0.134.11 [modified: usr/share/gconf/schemas /update-manager.schemas] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
