[Bug 917758] Re: package git-daemon-sysvinit 1:1.7.8.3-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

[k3m]

I get the same error. It prevents any installation or full removal of
packages.

My System:
7.8 GiB
Intel® Core™ i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz × 4
Gallium 0.4 on NVE4
32-bit
Ubuntu 13.04

Result of executing "sudo apt-get remove rhythmbox":
...

Fetched 8,838 kB in 12s (709 kB/s)

Errors were encountered while processing:
 git-daemon-sysvinit
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Afterwards I tried to run the shutter program from the terminal. The feedback confirms that it's not installed:
shutter
The program 'shutter' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install shutter

It's a very big problem because now I'm stuck with the programs I have
installed, making my current Ubuntu installation useless. Any help or
workaround is very much appreciated. A google doesn't provide any
answers and my knowledge of linux is still too weak to properly tackle
the problem, like by trying to manually remove some files - that I know
nothing about.

Bug description:
  I am on daily current precise. I'm just sending this so that people
  might fix it if it comes around. I know I'm running alpha so I don't
  expect this to work but maybe someone would like to know. Trying to
  install through Ubuntu Software Center. Installed git-core through
  terminal to get it working but can't get any of the extras from the
  USC to install. That is the info sent here. Thanks.
