Looking at this again it seems that the space allocated for installing packages on your persistent media was full.
/dev/sr0 709792 709792 0 100% /cdrom /dev/loop0 676480 676480 0 100% /rofs In the Natty version of usb creator we've resevered free space for on persistent media to prevent people from encountering this problem. This isn't a bug in man-db though and I'm setting this bug report to Invalid. Thanks! ** Changed in: man-db (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665677 Title: package man-db 2.5.7-4 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
