[Bug 1242480] Re: package dictionaries-common 1.20.2 failed to install/upgrade: le sous-processus script post-installation installé a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 255

[bob]

In my case, I followed 
gedit /usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common/README.problems
# Debconf database corruption

To make it short :
/usr/share/debconf/fix_db.pl
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

FYI, I also removed dictionnaries-common entry in /var/lib/dpkg/status,
followed by a failing apt-get install dictionnaries-common, I think it's
not usefull.
