[Bug 795277] [NEW] package man-db 2.5.9-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[komputes]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: man-db

Installed GIMP on Natty. I have backports, proposed, gnome3 PPA, equinox
PPA and team-orta PPA enabled.

Running GIMP after installing gives this error:

It appears that you are using GIMP for the first time.  GIMP will now
create a folder named '/home/ubuntu/.gimp-2.6' and copy some files to
it.

Creating folder '/home/ubuntu/.gimp-2.6'...
Copying file '/home/ubuntu/.gimp-2.6/gtkrc' from '/etc/gimp/2.0/gtkrc'...
Could not open '/etc/gimp/2.0/gtkrc' for reading: No such file or directory
