This issue is caused by a simple error in the postrm script > if [ -d /var/run/sddm ]; then rm -r /var/run/sddm/authority; fi
The directory exists, but the file does not. Workaround: Stop ssdm to be sure those files won't be missed. Delete /var/run/sddm before purging the package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1422247 Title: package sddm (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1422247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
