Bug Description

ricardo@yuggoth:~ $ sudo dpkg --configure kcontrol
Configurando kcontrol (3.5.2-0ubuntu9) ...
dpkg: error al procesar kcontrol (--configure):
 el subproceso post-installation script devolvió el código de salida de error 1
Se encontraron errores al procesar:
 kcontrol

The problem is in the following lines of /var/lib/dpkg/info/kcontrol.postinst:

       rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/025_logitechmouse.rules
       rm -f /etc/udev/logitechmouse.rules
       rm -f /etc/hotplug/usb/logitechmouse
       rm -f /etc/hotplug/usb/logitechmouse.usermap
       rmdir /etc/hotplug/usb 2>/dev/null
       rmdir /etc/hotplug 2>/dev/null

If you comment that lines, then the packages can be installed and configured without problems.

I submitted the same bug (bug #40407) because I didn't find this one when searching.

Just to recap the workaround for beginners.

sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/kcontrol.postinst

(comment out these lines so it looks like this)
# rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/025_logitechmouse.rules
# rm -f /etc/udev/logitechmouse.rules
# rm -f /etc/hotplug/usb/logitechmouse
# rm -f /etc/hotplug/usb/logitechmouse.usermap
# rmdir /etc/hotplug/usb 2>/dev/null
# rmdir /etc/hotplug 2>/dev/null

(save the file)
