error processing interchange-cat-standard

[Netsreennet]

Binary package hint: dpkg

Hi, guys girls,

I like to report the following bug in:
  Ubuntu Ubuntu 9.04 - the Jaunty Jackalope - released in April 2009
  Kernel Linux 2.6.28.12-generic
  GNOME 2.26.1 - build date 05/06/2009

The following started to happen after a dist-upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04.
Every time i wont to update/upgrade or install other packages i get the E; message:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
Setting up interchange-cat-standard (5.6.1-2) ...
dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/interchange-cat-standard.conf
*** WARNING: ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf, but
             the script did not pass --debconf-ok to ucf. The maintainer
             script should be fixed to not stop debconf before calling ucf,
             and pass it this parameter. For now, ucf will revert to using
             old-style, non-debconf prompting. Ugh!

             Please inform the package maintainer about this problem.
The Interchange server was not running (/var/run/interchange/interchange.pid).
dpkg: error processing interchange-cat-standard (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 interchange-cat-standard
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

--end message--

So i can't do no upgrades nor install other packages.

I hope that this information is sufficient to fix the bug

Best regard NetsreenNet.

This needs to be fixed in the interchange-cat-standard package, not in dpkg.
