[Bug 205202] Re: [HARDY] ubufox won't upgrade

[Christophe Dumez]

Finally, I found out what the problem was. Apparently the installer
doesn't like the fact that "/var/lib/dpkg/info/ubufox.md5sums" is a
folder on my Ubuntu.

I did the following:
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/ubufox.md5sums/ /var/lib/dpkg/info/ubufox.md5sums.bakk

And now the package is installed. Indeed, after the install,
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ubufox.md5sums is a file.

I never messed up with those files so it is probably a previous package that broke it (I have just updated from Gutsy).
chris at chris-laptop:~/ubufox/ubuntu$ ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/ubufox.md5sums.bakk/

This looks strange, doesn't it?
