Hi I think I found a way to solve the bug. 1-/ download the package and unzip it in a working directory (~/work for example). 2-/ go to ~/work/lilypond-doc_2.18.0-1_all/DEBIAN directory and suppress the files named "postinst", "postrm" and "preinst". 3-/ go to the extraction directory (~/work) 4-/ create the new deb file : dpkg -b lilypond-doc_2.18.0-1_all/ lilypond-doc_2.18.0-2_all.deb (I've changed the name of the file.deb but I'm not sure it is necessary). 5-/ install the new package with sudo dpkg -i lilypond-doc_2.18.0-2_all.deb.
The doc is in place in the directory. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1363820 Title: Attempting upgrade to Utopic Unicorn - "package lilypond-doc 2.16.2-3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lilypond/+bug/1363820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
