I get the same error. It prevents any installation or full removal of packages.
My System: 7.8 GiB Intel® Core™ i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz × 4 Gallium 0.4 on NVE4 32-bit Ubuntu 13.04 Result of executing "sudo apt-get remove rhythmbox": ...

Errors were encountered while processing: git-daemon-sysvinit E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Afterwards I tried to run the shutter program from the terminal. The feedback confirms that it's not installed: shutter The program 'shutter' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install shutter It's a very big problem because now I'm stuck with the programs I have installed, making my current Ubuntu installation useless. Any help or workaround is very much appreciated. A google doesn't provide any answers and my knowledge of linux is still too weak to properly tackle the problem, like by trying to manually remove some files - that I know nothing about. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917758 Title: package git-daemon-sysvinit 1:1.7.8.3-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+bug/917758/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
