[Bug 1006770] Re: package backuppc 3.2.1-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in Ubuntu.

For some reason the backuppc process has either not terminated or has
terminated uncleanly leaving a pid file lying around which is blocking
this upgrade.

I was not able to replicate this either during upgrade from 11.10 to
12.04 or by re-installing on 12.04.  Did you upgrade from 11.10 or from
10.04?

Please can you check to see if PID 1634 is actually running:

   ps -aef | grep 1634

If it is then:

   sudo service backuppc stop

if it is not then:

  sudo rm -f /var/run/backuppc/BackupPC.pid

and then run the following to complete your install:

  sudo apt-get -f install

I'm marking this but as 'Incomplete'. Please can you try the advice
above and confirm whether you upgraded from 10.04 or 11.10 - please set
back to 'New' once you have provided the requested information.

Thanks
