[Bug 359695] [NEW] php-mode package reports a missing file when installing

[Maitre Bart]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: php-mode

Installing the php-mode package (0.1-1ubuntu1) causes the following
error to be reported at the end of the installation:

Errors were encountered while processing:
php-mode
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

dpkg: error processing php-mode (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.2 (release 8.04)

I went on the forum first (please, have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1115906).
The error still occurs even if I install the emacs21 or emacs22 meta-packages.

The problem is (an annoyance, should I say) that it's all like the php-mode package still remains in the synaptic's installation queue.
So for any other package I try to install thereafter, synaptic will attempt to complete the php-mode every time, but it never succeeds.
