Hi all, after a harddisk failure I reinstalled sid on one of my pcs. There were no big problems. However the it seems that the realplayer installer may now be broken.
Here is what happens: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ 8% sudo apt-get install realplayer Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: realplayer 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/18.4kB of archives. After unpacking 164kB will be used. Preconfiguring packages ... Debconf then flashes up and asks me if I want to run the install now, to which I answer yes. The following happens... realplayer failed to preconfigure, with exit status 1 Selecting previously deselected package realplayer. (Reading database ... 106265 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking realplayer (from .../realplayer_8.0.5_i386.deb) ... Setting up realplayer (8.0.5) ... Again, debconf flashes up and asks me if I want to run the install now, to which I answer yes. The following happens... dpkg: error processing realplayer (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: realplayer E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) So it doesn't even get as far as asking where I've put the realplayer file. I've reproduced this on 2 other sid boxes. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks, Nick.
