Crash when updating. package catfish 0.8.0-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 101

[Kenneth Wrede]

I tried to install some updates that have been released today to Xubuntu 13.10 Saucy. One of the packages was catfish, and I used Synaptic to update.

It, or something related, crashed during the update process. But if I check for updatres again, then there is none. It is also possible to run, som it seems to have passed anyway. Version 0.8.0.
