[Bug 350089] Re: package ecryptfs-utils 73-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

 

I'll try to clarify the steps/actions i did before i faced with the
issue.

I have several partitions on my hdd:
   sda1 - intrepid root partition
   sda6 - /home partition
   sda8 - debian lenny root partition
   sda7 - jaunty root partition

In intrepid I have ecryptfs-utils installed, but actually don't use it.

When jaunty beta has become available I tried to install it for testing
on a separate sda7 partition using desktop-i386 cd.

During an installation process I was asked to assign mount points for
partitions. I chose sda7 as a / partition and sda6 as a /home partition.
Some steps later I created "jaunty" user with /home/jaunty home
directory.

Before I faced with the ecryptfs-utils issue I also got
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350087 .

After installation process had finished I rebooted my computer into
jaunty. Update-manager reported a broken package ecryptfs-utils. Next I
rebooted into intrepid, removed ecryptfs-utils, rebooted into jaunty,
executed "sudo apt-get install -f" (if i'm not mistaken) and the package
finally had been successfully installed.

I hope my explanation will help. Sorry for not providing it beforehand.
