[Bug 834751] Re: package foomatic-filters 4.0.7-0ubuntu1.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Till Kamppeter]

Terminal log shows the following:

----------
Setting up foomatic-filters (4.0.7-0ubuntu1.1) ...
readlink: invalid option -- 'm'
BusyBox v1.17.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.17.1-10ubuntu1) multi-call binary.

Usage: readlink [-fnv] FILE

Display the value of a symlink

Options:
        -f      Canonicalize by following all symlinks
        -n      Don't add newline
        -v      Verbose

ucf: Unable to determine The new file
dpkg: error processing foomatic-filters (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
----------

The postinst script of foomatic-filters does not contain "readlink",
probably a problem of debconf.


** Package changed: foomatic-filters (Ubuntu) => debconf (Ubuntu)
