[Bug 1186563] Re: package jsmath 3.6c-1.1 failed to install/upgrade: package jsmath is already installed and configured

[Seth Arnold]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  package jsmath 3.6c-1.1 failed to install/upgrade: package jsmath is
  already installed and configured

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1.  Chromium will not uninstall.  
  2.  It also will not erase history.  A new history window comes up and wants me to select certain browsers' history to erase.  No button indicated will perform the function.  I don't know if this is due to my selection of a new Chromium feature or one that has happened as a matter of the upgrade.  
  3.  There is a reference to Linux Mint, but I only have Linux Mint browser as a matter of a tab.  I'm not sure if this is my own error or not.
  4.  I was using Winetricks yesterday and there were no problems, though several applications failed to install.  I now seem to have two Mozilla firefox's.
  Ubuntu 12.10 Cinnamon (32bit)
  I do not know the package and have not upgraded chromium except through terminal and daily automatic upgrades.  Should be current.
  Ubuntu Software Center.
  I expected to erase all history using the congruency sign drop down.
  I got an entirely new window. (As explained above.)
