[Bug 491471] Re: package ecryptfs-utils 81-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

 

Thanks for your report.

>From the log file:
ERROR: Cannot remove ecryptfs-utils, as it appears to be in use:

[...]
dpkg: error processing ecryptfs-utils (--purge):

 subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

This is an intended behaviour to prevent ecryptfs removal if in use. I'm
closing this report because it is not a bug.

Don't hesitate to submit any new bug.
