Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
When I try to run an upgrade, this error occurs:
Preparing to replace dpkg 1.14.24ubuntu2 (using
.../dpkg_1.15.3.1ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.15.3.1ubuntu1_i386.deb
(--unpack):
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.15.3.1ubuntu1_i386.deb
I have tried running the upgrade from every frontend to apt that I could
think of (update-manager, synaptic, apt-get, aptitude), but the error
still occurs (with a dialogue box in the graphical frontends).
I am running Karmic right now.
Here is the output of apt-cache policy dpkg:
