package sivp 0.4.3-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Ligtvoet]

Binary package hint: sivp

When upgrading from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 sivp failed to upgrade.

ProblemType: Package

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04
ErrorMessage: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Package: sivp 0.4.3-4

I can confirm that I have just seen the same bug during a regular Jaunty upgrade.

[Don Forigua (ingforigua)]

I also confirm while i update ubuntu jaunty alpha 5 amd64.

[Didier DOMINE (didier-domine)]

I also confirm while i update ubuntu jaunty alpha 5 amd64 from intrepid ibex

[Mr. Captcha (mr-captcha)]

I even can't uninstall or downgrade. Every time the script-error occurres.

[Matt Joiner (anacrolix)]

Jaunty alpha 5, i386, same problem.

[Tadas Masiulionis (tadzikaz)]

I also confirm.

[Didier DOMINE (didier-domine)]

Yes.

Also impossible to upgrade or uninstall sivp 0.4.3-4, and it seems that
this is creating big troubles to sophisticated visual effects (can't
success to switch from "None" to "Normal" or "Extra", if we try try it
switch back violently to "None" with an error popup window, it seems
that it cause trouble to flash player plugin, and more generally, to
video playing (gstreamer is crashing, etc).
Looking for a solution, can't find a way to upgrade sivp, to uninstall
sivp or to uninstall the whole Scilab application (sivp is a part of
Scilab).

Here's what I have exactly reported (this is in French):

Paramétrage de sivp (0.4.3.-4) ...
dpkg : erreur de traitement de sivp (--configure) :
 le sous-processus post-installation script a retourné une erreur de
sortie d'état 1
Des erreurs ont été rencontrés pendant l'exécution :
 sivp
E : Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Un paquet n'a pas pu être installé. Tentative de récupération :

then, a popup windows appear :
Une erreur s'est produite
Les détails suivants sont fournis :
E: sivp: le sous-processus post-installation script a retourné une
erreur de sortie d'état 1

Hope all of this will be useful...

It seems that the old package has the same error, too.

Could somebody make a full new install-script for the packet?

It causes a lot of troubles during the update-process.

[Didier DOMINE (didier-domine)]

Yes but the problem is that it refuse to update sivp 0.4.3-4 to sivp -
0.5.0-1
Is there a way to force this update or... ?
