package firefox 12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Saverio J Marasco (Sr)]

You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012.

re-installation crashed during re-install due to strange problems ... the following errors were listed at the end og the install, in a dialog marked 'errors were encountered' or something akin to that:

E: chromium-browser: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: chromium-browser-l10n: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: firefox: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: adobe-flashplugin: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: bsd-mailx: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: backupninja: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: firefox-gnome-support: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: fastjar: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: jarwrapper: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: ncftp: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

this was the result, after the second attempt to uninstall / reinstall firefox and some associated libraries etc. .

I am currently looking into how to run dpkg to fix these dependencies

Also.... would someone tell me how to stop advice from coming in once the problem is solved.

Thank-you

Ubuntu Rocks.... but I just havn't gotten to like Unity yet. Can't it be possible to have Unity and also use panels?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can the bug report now be closed? If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
