Phil Richey, you are asking what you are supposed to do? I have several suggestions
1) First and most important, calm down. You are using software you are not paying for, yet are incredibly demanding. 2) Don't install software from random places on the net, especially since you have no clue what you are doing. 3) Don't mix Debian and Ubuntu packages unless you know what you are doing. 4) Don't open invalid tickets when ignoring #3 The issue you are seeing is a direct result of ignoring #3, closing as invalid, not an issue in Ubuntu, but self-inflicted pain. ** Changed in: sane-backends (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sane-backends in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513244 Title: package sane-utils 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: can not update plug ins ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: sane-utils 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-16.19-generic 4.2.3 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-16-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Nov 4 16:14:16 2015 DpkgHistoryLog: Start-Date: 2015-11-04 16:13:33 Commandline: aptdaemon role='role-commit-packages' sender=':1.334' Upgrade: libnss3:i386 (3.19.2-1ubuntu1, 3.19.2.1-0ubuntu0.15.10.1), libnss3-1d:i386 (3.19.2-1ubuntu1, 3.19.2.1-0ubuntu0.15.10.1), libnspr4-0d:i386 (4.10.8-2ubuntu1, 4.10.10-0ubuntu0.15.10.1), libnspr4:i386 (4.10.8-2ubuntu1, 4.10.10-0ubuntu0.15.10.1), libnss3-nssdb:i386 (3.19.2-1ubuntu1, 3.19.2.1-0ubuntu0.15.10.1) DuplicateSignature: package:sane-utils:1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2:subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-07-12 (1209 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110427.1) RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.18.2ubuntu5 apt 1.0.10.2ubuntu1 SourcePackage: sane-backends Title: package sane-utils 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to wily on 2015-10-24 (11 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1513244/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
