This occurred again going from apport 1.20.1-0ubuntu4 to apport 1.20.1-0ubuntu5 . It did not generate the error report but watching the detail install and looking at the log file, showed that both apport, and the supporting python files were 'half configured' again. I reset /etc/default/apport enable back to 1 again, went into synaptic, reselected the packages, and selected to have them reinstalled. That seemed to install them and configure them correctly.
It seems the fix in apport 1.20.1-0ubuntu5 did not fix the problem; it may have just suppressed it from reporting the error. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/767997 Title: package apport 1.20.1-0ubuntu5 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
