Language-selector-common in Ubuntu 10.10

When I am trying to install various packages, for example gitk and ruby1.8-dev, I recieve the following output:

Setting up language-selector-common (0.6.7) ...

dpkg: error processing language-selector-common (--configure):

subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of language-selector:

language-selector depends on language-selector-common (= 0.6.7); however:

Package language-selector-common is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing language-selector (--configure):

dependency prob开发者_Python百科lems - leaving unconfigured

Processing triggers for python-central ...

No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.

Errors were encountered while processing:

language-selector-common

language-selector

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have tried forcing the dependencies, and deleting the entries in the var/lib/dpkg/status and many more things, that all failed.

I am running this on a VM on Virtual Box, if that helps any.

Seems to be a bug with installing language-selector-common version 0.6.7. The new version (0.6.8) is already up. I think you should be able to just sudo apt-get update and reinstall your gitk and ruby.

You can see the related bug reports here:

You need to edit a file for post installation:

sudo vi /var/lib/dpkg/info/language-selector-common.postinst

Look for this line:

kill $(pgrep -U root '^ls-dbus-backend$') 2>/dev/null

append || true so that its look like:

kill $(pgrep -U root '^ls-dbus-backend$') 2>/dev/null || true

then run:

 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
