I have purge the PPAs and i-nex.

I have done a apt-get clean.

I have repeated the install process with PPAs.

I always get this error.

============

Installed packages:

gambas3-runtime
gambas3-gb-qt4
gambas3-gb-form
gambas3-gb-desktop
gambas3-gb-desktop-x11
gambas3-gb-image

(All of them with version: 3.8.2-28.44~ubuntu)

Every time I try to update the system, I get the message:

Configurando i-nex (7.4.0+bzr855+20140813~ubuntu14.04.1) ...
dpkg: error al procesar el paquete i-nex (--configure):
 el subproceso instalado el script post-installation devolvió el código de salida de error 6

Translated into english it means:

Setting up i-nex (7.4.0+bzr855+20140813~ubuntu14.04.1) ...
dpkg: error processing package i-nex (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 6

The install procedure I used was:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:i-nex-development-team/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install i-nex

[Jan Pleva (jenik-pleva)]

mint-K52N ~ # cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/i-nex.postinst
#!/bin/bash
if which curl >/dev/null; then
    curl --silent https://i-nex.pl/?downloadcount=1 > /dev/null 1>&1
fi
mint-K52N ~ # curl https://i-nex.pl/?downloadcount=1
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: i-nex.pl
mint-K52N ~ # echo $?
6

looks like some bad domain name....

[Roger Lawhorn (rll-m)]

This appears to do nothing but tell the website that one more install has occurred.
Correcting the domain name still returns an error.
I have bypassed the error by adding "exit 0" to the end of the post install script.

>sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/i-nex.postinst

#!/bin/bash
if which curl >/dev/null; then
    curl --silent https://i-nex.linux.pl/?downloadcount=1 > /dev/null 1>&1
fi
exit 0

And then the following to make the error go away:
>sudo apt-get install -f

bye bye silly error

[Alexandros Prekates (aprekates)]

The 'exit -0' addition to the postinst script solved the installation problem for me too.
