I can't reproduce the problem and I'm not sure why Tiziano's system is falling through to "cho" or "exit 1".
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" ">>" 9.0.48.0.0ubuntu4 && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" "<<" 9.0.48.0.0ubuntu8 I think that happens if it detects a Flash between 9.0.48.0.0ubuntu4 and 9.0.48.0.0ubuntu8 on his system, but I don't know why he would have had this version if he had Hardy. His problem should not happen on the release disc or the latest Hardy. I don't believe the typo would fix the problem either, because "exit 1" would still yield a nonzero error code. Anyway, he got an exec-format error and this would not be caused by "cho" as far as I can tell. Tiziano, I think that your /bin/sh may be broken. I'm not sure why this would be, but if removing it from status doesn't fix your problem, and you still can't install other packages, then something else is probably messed up with your system. -- typo in prerm file breaks failed-upgrade processing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213827 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
