[Bug 591481] Re: package tftpd-hpa 0.49-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

[Badcam]

I have this same issue. I installed tftp-hpa and then removed it, using
Synaptic Package Manger in Mint 9.0. I then find now I can't install any
other programmes and Update Manager won't proceed because of this error:

E: tftpd-hpa: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error
exit status 127

Details shows:

(Reading database ... 174866 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing tftpd-hpa ...
/etc/default/tftpd-hpa: 8: -s: not found
dpkg: error processing tftpd-hpa (--remove):
 subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 127
Processing triggers for ureadahead ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 tftpd-hpa
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:


I have tried many different suggestions such as running apt-get clea, remove, upgrade install -f, dist-upgrade. Also reinstalling, installing an old version, newer version etc. Nothing works and I can't update my ststem any longer or install new programmes.

What other information can I provide that will help get this resolved as
soon as possible?

I see above that you want the output of /etc/default/tftp-hpa. I presume
I just run this in terminal. Here are my results:

/etc/default/tftpd-hpa
bash: /etc/default/tftpd-hpa: Permission denied
badcam at xxxx ~ $ sudo /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
[sudo] password for badcam: 
sudo: /etc/default/tftpd-hpa: command not found
badcam at xxxx ~ $ 

I hope this helps.
