system-tools-backends error - please help

[ddigler]

Every time I try to install a package with synaptic I get this error:

E: system-tools-backends: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1.

I tried copying the details log but was not able to.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try to get more detailed output by running in a terminal:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

or maybe

sudo apt-get install <packagename>
