package backuppc 3.0.0-4ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: Unterprozess post-installation script gab den Fehlerwert 1 zur?ck

[Hartmut Braune]

Binary package hint: backuppc

I was upgrading form 7.10 to 8.04 which didn't end successfully. Afterwards, from the console, I ran
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
and rebootet.
With the first login to the new 8.04 system the error message was reported saying that backuppc 3.0.0-4ubuntu1 couldn't be installed or updated.

Regards
Hartmut

Hi,

The log suggests that the package fails to install as there is
another instance of backuppc already running.

Thanks,

James

Hi,

I think I may be having the same problems. The package manager returned:

E: backuppc: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Let me know if you want any more information,
Thanks,

James
