package dmeventd 2:1.02.90-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: package dmeventd is already installed and configured

This bug could be a security problem, I don't know, I just get a message that there is an internal error and I follow instructions to report the bug, that's all I know about it, but I wish the bug would show itself, I would step on it and crush it.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Seth,
I have an HP Laserjet 1018 that refuses to load the driver on my server, it
just doesn't work, and I know Ubuntu doesn't support this printer, but I
was wondering if there is a patch or something to get this printer to work.
Please help if you can.
Thanks

Seth,
One more thing about this Ubuntu 15.04 OS, it freezes up if I leave it on
for a few hours and come back to it, nothing works, nothing connects.
Wouldn't you say that was a bug problem that should be corrected?
I have no idea why it happens, it just freezes, or will not connect to a
previous internet page, or refresh a present page.
Please let me know, this is a Lenovo server ts440 and I can't keep
restarting everytime, it won't work or freezes if I do nothing, because
restarting is the only thing I can do to clear all the problems.

Joe
