Comment 4 for bug 505518

I am continually being asked by update manager to install an important
security update to Winbind. Always getting:-
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/winbind_2%3a3.4.0-3ubuntu5.4_i386.deb:
subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2

I cannot install latest OpenOffice, suspect because of the same cause.

This seems to be the same error as 505518, how do I overcome this?

Regards.
