So I was attempting to uninstall/reinstall firefox when synaptic crashed. I get the following message now whenever I try to use apt-get or synaptic:
(Reading database ... 239728 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing firefox ...
Setting up firefox-3.0 (3.0.1 +build1nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1) ...
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error
dpkg: error processing firefox-3.0 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
firefox-3.0
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Any ideas on how to fix?
