Bug Description

I recieve this error every time I install or uninstall a program with Synaptic Package Manager, Aptitude, and Add/Remove Programs the problem started after I tried to install and run the F-Prot Installer from Synaptic. The program seemed to install properly but would not run properly. I uninstalled the Installer but I keep getting this error message which seems to be more of an annoyance than anything.

The error message is 'E: runit: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1'

try running "sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/runit.postinst && sudo dpkg --configure -a"

This should solve the problem
