jockey-backend crashed with SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

[kikl]

The bug report appeared after installing a binary driver using the application "additional drivers". The driver was downloaded and installed. I don't know whether the hardware is working - a modem that I no longer use.
