  package nvidia-prime 0.6.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script returned error exit status 6

Status in “nvidia-prime” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I had a system crash after an upgrade to 14.10. The problem was in Nvidia driver. 
  I had to purge all nvidia packages. All are gone successfully except this one - nvidia-prime.
  It is most probably already removed, but its service data still remains, and dpkg tries to start/stop/reconfig it before trying to remove/reinstal.

  That's all.

  Thank you very much for bringing us he great Linux OS like this :)
