[Bug 1774859] Re: package netcat-openbsd 1.187-1ubuntu0.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed netcat-openbsd package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2

[ Christian Ehrhardt ]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem,
rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete.

If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers
to get help for this sort of problem here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it
helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem,
explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem
specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

** Changed in: netcat-openbsd (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
