I had this very same issue, eval failed to change LC_MESSAGES environment variable. Edited the postinst script slightly with midnight commander (apt-get install mc). Instead of using eval, I used another way of setting the environment variable.
patch included. ** Patch added: "postinst.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47998368/postinst.patch -- package python-gmenu 2.30.0-0ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572260 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-menus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
