I also have this problem. I installed Timidity in synaptic, then I got this error. Now every time I try to install ANYTHING in synaptic, it still attempts to resolve this timidity problem, and I get the error every single time I try to update anything in synaptic. I installed timidity so I could get midi playback in Chocolate Doom (linux port of doom). The weird thing is midi playback through timidity works, meaning it must have installed somehow, yet its giving me this error. When I uninstall timidity, the error obviously goes away, and I no longer hear midi playback in the game. Upon reinstallation, the error returns and midi playback works again. I ran
sudo dpkg --configure -a and got this: Setting up timidity (2.13.2-19ubuntu1) ... ...fail! invoke-rc.d: initscript timidity, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing timidity (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: timidity and I don't have "exult" installed, so it must be a timidity issue -- package exult 1.2-12 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231827 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
