Correction: Re: [Bug 849355] Re: This error was received during an install, which is still in progress. package man-db 2.5.7-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Joe Cucuzza]

Minor correction:

This line:  I finished the install, and added several recommended 
packages as recommended by the synaptic package manager.

Should have read:

I finished the install, and added several recommended packages as 
recommended by the _upgrade manager._

Title:
  This error was received during an install, which is still in progress.
  package man-db 2.5.7-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Status in “man-db” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  During the install of 10.04.3 the install hung for about 15 minutes at
  93%, "Starting pc card services".  I clicked on a driver icon at the
  top of the screen.  I got the following:  "NVIDIA accelerator graphics
  driver (version 96) Recommended"  I clicked on the activate box, and
  it failed 2 times.  I got the crash report which is included.  Then I
  got a message about the man-db 2.5.7-2 ubuntu failed to install or
  upgrade, you can help developers to fix the package by reporting the
  problem.  I am more concerned about the stalled install & video card
  driver than the "man" error.  I can probably fix the "Man" error
  later.  The install is not at 95%.  Hope this helps.
