dist-upgrade error

I just did an apt-get update and dist-upgrade on 810 and received the following errors

Setting up pluto-boot-scripts (2.0.0.44.10021122758) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/pluto-boot-scripts.postinst: line 104: /etc/skel/Desktop/LinuxMCE: No such file or directory

Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Errors were encountered while processing:
pluto-boot-scripts
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Is this something I need to worry about? is it a bug?
If more info is needed ask and I'll try to provide.

I had the same problem.  Looks like the script believes that /etc/skel/Desktop will exist.  to correct type:

Code Select Expand


sudo mkdir /etc/skel/Desktop

then run the upgrade again

Code Select Expand


sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


[coley]

yeah that will allow the script to continue - but why is it looking for this in the first place?
Is it a mistake in the script or should it exist already?

What is being put in the directory that is created?  Get that information, and open a ticket (if one isn't already opened).

Look here in the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/pluto-boot-scripts.postinst

Script should really detect whether the folder exists,

[ -d /etc/skel/Desktop/ ] || mkdir /etc/skel/Desktop/

Yes, it probably should.  Open a ticket with that suggestion.

This is also causing /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh to error out long before finishing.
