[Bug 671649] Re: package boinc-client 6.10.17 dfsg-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 6

[Daniel Hahler]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: boinc
  
  Rather than using Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center, I typed 'sudo aptitude install -v boinc-client boinc-manager' into a terminal.
  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  I expected all the files to install, but they didn't.
