2008-08-04 08:44:01 Cesare Tirabassi libglade-java: statusexplanation There is no bug that I can see; your file system is possibly corrupted since the error is: dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error coming from libgnome-cni, which is however fine if I check your arch/version in the archive. Can you give this command in a terminal an attach here the resulting postinst file: cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgnome-cni.postinst > postinst ?

2008-08-05 16:50:36 Cesare Tirabassi None: statusexplanation Your postinst seems to be fine. Can you check if that file and /var/lib/dpkg/info/ have the executable bit set? Can you check if /var is mounted with the exec flag set? Can you try to manually execute that script? If worst come to worse, you can try to force the installation with: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libgnome-cni_2.12.7-4_powerpc.deb Its a dangerous command to give, so try other solutions first. This may not solve others problem you have which could be related to a corrupt file system but at least should solve this one. Anyhow, I'm transforming this into a question since there doesn't seem to be any bug.
