Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-orca

I was running an upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic and had the following dialogue box come up.

[failed to install gnome-orca]
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139

At the end of the install I had another dialogue come up asking me to report a bug so here I am. The whole upgrade process was plagued with hundreds of errors involving the DBus engine (arguments to dbus_move_error() were incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in file dbus-errors.c line 278.) and KBuild segfaults.

That sounds like you may have filesystem corruption, or bad RAM to me.

Just checked both and they're fine. I verified my memory using the memtest option in grub and the ext4 filesystem using a forced fsck. Apparently my filesystem was also checked the same day of the upgrade several hours earlier and it had no errors according to my /var/log/fsck/checkfs log file.

Is this still an issue? If you upgraded from karmic to lucid, did you have any issues surrounding this package?

I never used that package but all my KDE apps were busted for months until I finally found another bug report telling me to delete some .glob file in my ~/.kde/.
