Had a look at the issue, according to the logs you had cron 3.1.11-1ubuntu5.1 installed and you tried to install an older version (3.0pl1-106ubuntu7, which is the latest version in the Ubuntu Lucid repositories): dpkg: eroare la procesarea /var/cache/apt/archives/cron_3.0pl1-106ubuntu7_i386.deb (--unpack): se încearcă suprascrierea „/var/spool/cron”, care este și în pachetul at 3.1.11-1ubuntu5.1 chgrp: „/var/spool/cron/crontabs” nu poate fi accesat: Not a directory
To prevent data loss (the older package tried to overwrite /var/spool/cron), dpkg correctly halted the installation. Do you know how cron 3.1.11-1ubuntu5.1 got installed on your system? There is no such package in the Ubuntu repositories. Maybe you installed it from a third party site, or a PPA? ** Changed in: cron (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1035453 Title: package cron 3.0pl1-106ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocesul script post-installation instalat a returnat starea de eroare la ieșire 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cron/+bug/1035453/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
