Awesome installation failure

[putstatic]

Hi, UbuntuForums!

I ran into this problem a couple of days ago when trying to install the awesome desktop environment.

Basically, I think the installation failed about halfway through, and everything has pretty much gone haywire.
I've been able to resolve most of the errors but one still remains:

When I try to install anything with Ubuntu Software Center, the installation simply fails.
When I try to install anything with apt, it gives with the following error message:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
However, the installation is still successful.

I don't know what is causing it, honestly. Any idea? I'm running xubuntu.

Thanks!

What happens if you run:


sudo dpkg --configure -a

Instead of the '-a' part you can also just choose to configure udev:


sudo dpkg --configure udev

It might help us see why udev is not configuring and cascading the problem.
