To recover, please perform the following 2 steps: 1) sudo invoke-rc.d system-tools-backends stop 2) sudo dpkg --configure -a ***TEST CASE FOR SRU*** 1) With current version (2.6.0-1ubuntu1.1) of system-tools-backends installed, open up 2 terminals. 2) In the first terminal, type "users-admin", but don't press enter to run it yet. 3) In the second terminal, run "sudo apt-get install --reinstall system-tools-backends". 4) As soon as this line appears in the second terminal, hit enter in the first terminal to run users-admin: "* Stopping System Tools Backends system-tools-backends" The reinstall will fail. Once this has happened follow the workaround above to recover, then upgrade to 2.6.0-1ubuntu1.2. Once upgraded, repeat steps 1 - 4, and note that the reinstall never fails.
