package cups-daemon 2.1.3-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Arthur W Card Jr]

This package failed during installation. I have had problems with this OS since it did a upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. On start up it is very slow to load, and I have lost the right sound channel and it will at times do two or three reboots on any given day for no reason.
