package doc-base 0.9.5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

I am using a computer which before now was running under Windows XP Professional. I wanted a computer that I could use for translation work mainly so I downloaded and tried to install Tuxtrans (full version). I got a purple screen but nothing else! I then downloaded and installed Ubuntu 11.04,, 10.04 and 9.04. They did not install properly. I then downloaded the Tuxtrans Essential package which is based on Ubuntu 9.04 and it installed perfectly and worked perfectly. Then I received the message that downloads were available so I decided to try these so that I could climb back up to 10.04 LTS. On rebooting the computer I got the message that the screen should be changed to 12?? by 1024. Tried that but didn't work properly. Eventually discovered that the top bar was out of sight at the top. After clicking around the top of the screen I eventually found how to move the top-bar menu to the bottom.

I have used Tuxtrans before on this machine. I doubt that the problem is due to a bug, but I am still relatively new to FLOSS and Ubuntu and don't know how I should proceed from here. I would be happy if I could settle on Ubuntu 10.04 with the Tuxtrans programms

This version has expired long times ago, and so will never get support
