[Bug 516417] Re: ecryptfs-utils failed to upgrade (prerm ERROR: Cannot remove ecryptfs-utils, as it appears to be in use)

 

Hmm, I don't quite understand your report...

Is this a Lucid install, or an upgrade from Karmic?

Is this still reproducible, or perhaps an archive hiccup?

Are you actually using ecryptfs for encrypted home or private?

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

Hello,

At the end of Ubuntu Lucid installation at the dpkg running stage it showed an error about ecryptfs-utils and it showed on the toolbar till I fixed it by running
#apt-get -f install
as suggested by the command line

tester01@tester01-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install xchat

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  ecryptfs-utils: Depends: libecryptfs0 (>= 77) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: keyutils but it is not going to be installed
  xchat: Depends: xchat-common (= 2.8.6-4ubuntu4) but it is not going to be installed
         Recommends: tcl but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
tester01@tester01-laptop:~$


that is it. 

Thank you for this beautiful and free software
