[Bug 912362] Re: package rsyslog 4.2.0-2ubuntu8.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10

[Jamie Strandboge]

Thank you for using Ubuntu and reporting a bug. From the dpkg terminal log, there are a lot of errors such as:
dpkg: warning: files list file for package `xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.


This seems to be causing other problems like this:
Setting up foomatic-filters (4.0.4-0ubuntu1.1) ...
dpkg: error processing foomatic-filters (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Setting up rsyslog (4.2.0-2ubuntu8.1) ...
dpkg: error processing rsyslog (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Setting up grub-pc (1.98-1ubuntu12) ...

As such, the errors are not rsyslog specific. This seems like a problem
with the system in general. You could try to reboot and force an fsck by
doing 'sudo touch /forcefsck' then rebooting, but this may not solve the
issue. If you are still having problems after the fsck and you don't
know how to proceed, I suggest bringing this up on askubuntu.com.
