[Bug 372404] Re: package ecryptfs-utils 73-0ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

 

I'm using the installed system in question as I type. More problems have
arisen that I suspect originate from this bug.

I am able to update just fine, however I get an error at the end. (I'll
post this when I update again.)

Running 'sudo apt-get install -f' results in this:

chris@chris-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install -f
Reading package lists... Done

In Synaptic, trying to "fix broken packages" results in this error:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies

So instead, I use the "broken" filter to locate them, and mark all for
reinstallation. I click "apply", and it spits this back at me:

Could not apply changes!
Fix broken packages first.

I have no idea why this happened, but I thought I'd report it.

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

(I realise this is most likely a dupe; if so, I'm sorry, but I'm playing it safe by reporting nonetheless...)
