| 2008-11-30 19:14:38 | Jean-Baptiste Lallement | pexpect: statusexplanation | Thanks for your report. The cause of the failure is ==== Setting up python-pexpect (2.1-1build1) ... pycentral: pycentral pkginstall: not overwriting local files pycentral pkginstall: not overwriting local files dpkg: error processing python-pexpect (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 ==== This is an intended behavior of pycentral to not overwrite locally installed python modules. So, this is not an error in Ubuntu. Did you install a previous version of python-pexpect by hand (or with easyinstall ) ? You can either remove the version previously installed or set overwrite- local=1 in /etc/python/debian_config and retry the upgrade of the package. Let us know if this helps. | ||
