[Bug 801761] Re: package postfix (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 128

[Dennis Hockings]

Hi, I have no idea whether this will help you or not.
I am not a Linux user but I wanted to check it out so I have installed the
Sun Virtual Box on my 64 bit win 7 workstation. I then installed Ubuntu 64
bit within the Virtual Box. This all appears to be working fine but I wanted
to use a different browser than Firefox so I attempted to install Chromium.
First by going to the web site and running it in the browser and then with a
downloaded copy. Both failed. I then decided to check the browsers in the
system and failed to be able to install them either. When asked to send an
error log to you I did. Sorry if this is a bit skimpy but I work in a
Windows environment and have very little to do with Linux.
