[Bug 992654] [NEW] package firefox 12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Saverio J Marasco (Sr)]

Public bug reported:

You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011
and supported until October 2012.

re-installation crashed during re-install due to strange problems ...
the following errors were listed at the end og the install, in a dialog
marked 'errors were encountered' or something akin to that:

E: chromium-browser: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: chromium-browser-l10n: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: firefox: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: adobe-flashplugin: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: bsd-mailx: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: backupninja: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: firefox-gnome-support: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: fastjar: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: jarwrapper: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: ncftp: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

this was the result, after the second attempt to uninstall / reinstall
firefox and some associated libraries etc. .

I am currently looking into how to run dpkg to fix these dependencies

Also.... would someone tell me how to stop advice from coming in once
the problem is solved.

Thank-you

Ubuntu Rocks.... but I just havn't gotten to like Unity yet. Can't it be
possible to have Unity and also use panels?
