A workaround that at least allowed me to uninstall mailman: 1. Move aside the postinstallation script of mailman: cd /var/lib/dpkg/info mv mailman.postinst mailman.postinst.defunct
Alternatively, you can simply make it empty. 2. Now uninstall the package sudo apt-get remove mailman ... now it should work. At the end, you can remove the postinstallation script. Just don't install it again... -- E: mailman: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
