Re: application manager error. dpkg reported error while processing package.

I get it too. It is to do with extra conversations protocols; I just ignore it as other packages install fine.

Re: application manager error. dpkg reported error while processing package.

but i get the error all the time. with installing all applications. not just the protocols for conversations. even if i install a new theme or game. please help

Re: application manager error. dpkg reported error while processing package.

It looks that the file /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon is somehow missing in the package... I uploaded mine (from package 0.8 from extras, seems only version 0.10 in extras-devel is broken) to : http://www.miskiewicz.org/files/avahi-daemon

If you still don't know what to do, these are the instructions (you may need to type "apt-get install wget" as root before if you don't have wget installed):

Code:

root

cd /etc/init.d

wget http://www.miskiewicz.org/files/avahi-daemon

chmod 755 avahi-daemon

Close terminal then and check if problem still occurs.

Comment out the offending line with a #
Save the file, then

Code:

dpkg --configure -a

Did you try to use my solution first? He suggested you to type:

Code:

root

leafpad /var/lib/dpkg/info/account-plugin-salut.postinst

and add at the beginning of line six (it is something like "/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start") "#" (so it will look like "#/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start"). If you don't have leafpad installed and cannot install any apps, it's totally not good, because you may need to use vi which is hard to use if you have never used it before...
