Workaround - comment out the line "invoke-rc.d --quiet hal restart" in /var/lib/dpkg/info/halevt.postinst, run "dpkg --configure -a", and reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/746949 Title: package halevt 0.1.6.2-1.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 100 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
