dpkg: error processing base-files (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
base-files
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This has been occuring for several days now, I have tried updating apt
- several time, but this error persists. I have removed the base-files
+ several times, but this error persists. I have removed the base-files
.deb file from the apt cache and tried again, but this error won't go
away. I am using 8.04 LTS AMD64 server distro.
