package ubuntu-docs 9.04.7 failed to install/upgrade: el subproceso post-installation script devolvi? el c?digo de salida de error 1

This bug report is not a duplicate of bug 353117

The error message is:

Configurando ubuntu-docs (9.04.7) ...
rmdir: No se pudo eliminar «/usr/share/gnome/help/libs»: El directorio no está vacío
dpkg: error al procesar ubuntu-docs (--configure):
 el subproceso post-installation script devolvió el código de salida de error 1

Which appears to roughly translate as "This directory is not empty".

Perfecto: please could you paste here the result of this command:

ls -al /usr/share/gnome/help/libs

Thank you

+1 for me,

Ignore my post I somehow have an old version although I just updated... I updated again and now got 9.04.7, which worked fine for me.

I'll take this. I'll modify edubuntu-docs to not install the .ent files to /usr/share/gnome/help/libs/

once edubuntu-docs is fixed, ubuntu-docs will need another upload to declare that it Conflicts: edubuntu-docs (<< $fixed_version) to ensure that edubuntu-docs is upgraded/removed first as part of the upgrade.

This bug was fixed in the package edubuntu-docs - 9.04.1ubuntu1

---------------
edubuntu-docs (9.04.1ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Don't install edubuntu .ent files, move inline (Closes LP: #353288)
