So I confirm it's not a bug in dpkg, it's the libreoffice package whose postrm script are failing. But the error message mentions files in /opt/ so it's not an official ubuntu package and there's probably not much that we can do.
Reassigning to libreoffice anyway. Maybe it's a bug in unopkg. ** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => libreoffice (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/865581 Title: dpkg does not completely install LibreOffice Daily builds Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: At first I thought this was an error with the LibreOffice daily builds, but then I went back a ways in "daily builds" and got the same problem, so think it might be the result of a change to dpkg. Anyway, the bug is also reported to the LibreOffice folks, at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41290 Basically, when I install a LO daily build, the message is as follows: Errors were encountered while processing: libo-dev3.5-dict-en_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libo-dev3.5-dict-es_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libo-dev3.5-dict-fr_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb Then on my next boot the apt-daemon crashes because it says packages have not installed properly.
