"Please don't overwrite standard tools like ls"

No kidding!  It was not something that I did intentionally -- just that
day's brain-fart.  :-(

Title:
  package udev 208-8ubuntu8.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script returned error exit status 102

Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  A few weeks ago I installed Ubuntu 10.10 server with the addition of
  the xubuntu-desktop packages.  Everything started out alright until i
  tried to install sendmail in place of postfix.  That installaton
  failed, reporting a similar error:

  "subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
  status 102"

  From there, things went from bad to worse.  I was now unable to finish
  the install of sendmail nor could I remove it fully and reinstall
  postfix.  Spamassassin seemed to be one critical package that hept
  reporting errors.  As I tried to install or remove packages using
  synaptic, the system most of the time refused to act due to dascading
  errors and partially removed packages that could not be removed, even
  by force.

  Today I threw up my hands and did a complete fresh install of the
  system.  Everything went well for the basic packages until I ran
  software updater.  A few packages were scheduled to be updated,
  including udev and it has now faild in the exact same manner.

  Could someone look at this and provide a quick reply as to what can be
  done to rectify this situation.  I am afraid to install or remove any
  other software for fear of corrupting the system further and I
  currently do not have a usable system.

  Let me know if additional information is required.  Thanks.
