Thanks for you bug report.

Can you see in the output of apt-get what the actual error is that is occurring?

Please post the full output of "apt-get -f install" (preferably as an attachment).

Package: qgis

Mixo, assigning to you. You have a call to update-menus in your postinst that is breaking. Either it needs to be removed, or you need to "guard" it (i.e. check whether it exists before invoking it), or you need to add a dependency on package "menu". I'd recommend the middle option. The first is not good if menu is installed, the last is not good because qgis doesn't really need menu.

Changed in scientific-ubuntu:
assignee: nobody → mixo-mixo
importance: Undecided → Medium
status: New → Confirmed
