[Bug 1027686] [NEW] package gcc-doc 4:4.6.1-2ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Alan Lehotsky]

Public bug reported:

Using either the gui software updater or apt-get directly complains
trying to update bison-doc

An attempt to

  apt-get remove bison-doc

reports that the config info is corrupted and that I should reinstall
before trying to remove.  The reinstall results in the autogeneration of
this bug report.
