[Bug 787178] Re: package python2.7-minimal 2.7.1-5ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Philippe Le Toquin]

Reproducible? I wouldn't know. I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and I got
that problem. The system asked if I could report so I did !

regarding the command you gave me:

here is the result:

ls -1 *.deb
python-pkg-resources_0.6.15-1ubuntu1_all.deb
python-setuptools_0.6.15-1ubuntu1_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[sudo] password for ppmt: 
dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 29981 package 'handbrake-gtk':
