[Bug 1563945] Re: package avahi-dnsconfd 0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[David Venz]

In my case, I installed ubuntu-mate-desktop, then xfce4, was running in
xfce4 and did: (a) apt purge ubuntu-mate-desktop, (b) apt autoremove -
which removed among other packages the avahi-dnsconfd package.
