Public bug reported: I don't know what's happening.
It all started because alacarte wouldn't work, from the terminal, or right clicking the menu and clicking "edit menus." Root user couldn't do it, either. So I tried purging alacarte, restarting, and reinstalling: same problem after reinstalling ubuntu-desktop et-al, I got the error that I'm sending attached. here's my what comes out in terminal when I try alacarte: jordan@jordan-AOA150:~$ alacarte Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 22, in <module> from Alacarte.MainWindow import MainWindow File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 20, in <module> import cgi, os File "/usr/lib/python2.6/cgi.py", line 49, in <module> import mimetools File "/usr/lib/python2.6/mimetools.py", line 6, in <module> import tempfile File "/usr/lib/python2.6/tempfile.py", line 34, in <module> from random import Random as _Random File "/usr/lib/python2.6/random.py", line 42, in <module> from __future__ import division ImportError: cannot import name division jordan@jordan-AOA150:~$ ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-38.83-generic 2.6.32.52+drm33.21 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-38-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Feb 5 15:07:29 2012 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20110720.1) SourcePackage: gdm Title: package gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-package i386 lucid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927319 Title: package gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I don't know what's happening.
