package myspell-st 20070206-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I started to get this bug after installing all of the language packs for Ubuntu 12.04.1. This bug seems to not really affect anything. Just seems to be a random error message.

artur cryczek, please do not toggle the Status without a comment regarding why. For more on Status please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status .

Temporary workaround:
sudo touch /usr/sbin/update-openoffice-dicts && sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/update-openoffice-dicts

sudo touch /usr/sbin/update-openoffice-dicts && sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/update-openoffice-dicts

asking . after this code entered what the next to do?

anyone please i need your help>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ian,

I'm afraid this bug has been long standing and if anyone has a solution
aside from uninstalling the package, it is beyond our knowledge. I simply
learned to remove that particular spell pack to fix the problem. Otherwise,
there is no known fix. I don't suppose you actually need that particular
language package? If so, maybe, someone could come up with a solution for
one that doesn't involve simply telling us to uninstall the package in
question?

Hi

This bug persists on raring.

I fetched the source for dict-st, and searched for update-openoffice in all
files, and did not find it.
And there is no postinst. It will require some digging around. It seems the
maintainer is not on the list of people subscribed to this bug?

Thanks Jan.

Could we force the maintainer onto the bug list and contact them directly
so to remedy this bug once and for all? It would be a wonderful
improvement, since it has been around for ages--far too long.

With the whole OS vulnerable due to those recent bug discoveries, I think
now is about time we start clearing up the code.

If the maintainer won't fix it, could we please get some volunteers? Simple
broken code like this scares off adoption and makes nonprofit adoption less
viable due to tech support problems.

Hi

I cc'ed the maintainer on my last post. Perhaps he was not awware of this
but can help point us at the right person to fix it, or fix it, or at least
investigate. Let's give him a few days to have time to look at this message.

Regards,
Jan

Thanks Jan.

Yes, a few days would be a good idea. I'm marking this for reply later just
in case we don't hear anything.

Thanks again!

I've uploaded this thanks.

Hello Emin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted dict-st into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dict-st/20070206-4ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

If the bug is finally fixed, I'd laugh on the floor rolling. I really
appreciate the effort. Got to admit, though, this has taken way too damn
long. :P

The verification of the Stable Release Update for dict-st has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.

Um. Thanks. Only took us two years. :P Well, let's hope it works.

Hello, I came across this bug due to bug 1471075 which I belive is a duplicate. I see there fix was released for 14.04 in an SRU. Any thoughts on a fix for 12.04?
