Bug Description
Repeatedly fails upupgrade.
This is a fairly recent install and upgrade (saucy to trusty), and still updating.
Usually I get error referencing error code 6 when using sudo apt-get update, stating kismet failed the update
Also my wallpaper displays a garbled image or none; or programs freeze--is kismet causing a problem with my display??
I am so far an intermittent Ubuntu user--please provide detailed explanation or example if you can respond to this.

Hi C,
If you take a look in VarLogDistupgra deApttermlog. gz file, there is the following message:
Setting up kismet (2013.03.R1b-3) ...
usermod: user 'CII' does not exist
dpkg: error processing package kismet (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 6
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kismet-plugins:
kismet-plugins depends on kismet (= 2013.03.R1b-3); however:
Package kismet is not configured yet.
This means that you specified the user CII, but this username does not exist in your system.
Please provide a valid username
This is practically a duplicate of Bug: #1172993 and I'm marking it as such
Kindest regards,
Nick
