Martin's comment got me thinking about this again. Are either one of these packages necessary for Kubuntu? I have some gnome apps installed, which is really the only non-KDE/ubuntu stuff I have on the system. What's odd about this is that it only began to occur about two weeks ago. I ignored it for a while because I've seen many bugs killed in subsequent updates. Since this is a beta, you tend not to worry about them.
I didn't want to ignore console-setup because of ubuntu-minimal's dependency on it. If you read the description of ubuntu-minimal, it appears to be necessary for the sysytem to do important stuff, so the user is between a rocak and a hard place on this. I also noticed last night that the bug acts differently based on how you do an update. If I use apt-get from the console, everything downloaded is installed, and the error appears at the end of the update, with apparently no negative affect on the other updates. However, if I run Adept to do the upgrades, it will fail part of the way through because of the console-setup/ubuntu-minimal error. If I go back after and finish the update from the console manually, the uninstalled packages get installed and setup correctly. -- fail to install with subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3 https://launchpad.net/bugs/91399 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
