package python-mutagen 1.14-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Andrew Antle]

Ubuntu release: 8.10
Package version: 1.14-1
I was trying to install Quod Libet, but python-mutagen failed. The weird thing is, Synaptic says I have mutagen 1.14-1 installed. Then I ran quodlibet in the terminal and received this:

andrew@antle-desktop:~$ quodlibet

I hope this is useful. Please let me know if I can do more to help.

Please purge the package and reinstall it.

Resolved.

I totally deleted everything having to do with mutagen, and also my ~/.quodlibet folder, and everything is up and running. Thanks.

This wasn't really a bug. I just had to purge mutagen and reinstall. Sorry for the mix-up. - Andrew
