hi try this


sudo dpkg --confugure -a

& then try again.

[gent79]

thanks for your reply!

I found out that the issue could be fixed.

root@reid-gent79:info# pwd
/var/lib/dpkg/info
root@reid-gent79:info# vim udev.postinst


# 165 changed DB format
# if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl "165~"; then
# udevadm info --convert-db
# fi

comment the two lines code. But this might bring to other issue, anyway, so far so good.
