error in downloading using synaptic manager

[arturieto]

I got this error when using the synaptic pacakge manager :

"E: havp: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1"

Even updates from repositories can not be installed. I got this error after I removed antivirus, clamav, avast home edition linux and avg for linux.

I tried re-installing synaptic and tried also the havp but nothing happened.

please help.

What messages/error will it display when you issue the following commands on your terminal:


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Hi guys.
I'm having the same problem. Have followed the advice on both threads I found but no joy.
Following the advice in this thread I get:

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
Setting up havp (0.86-1build1) ...
There is already /var/lib/havp/havp.loop, maybe from an earlier or custom installation, not building loopback-device

One or more scanners failed to initialize!
Check errorlog for errors.

dpkg: error processing havp (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I was trying to install GnuCash when I started getting the "no havp" messages. Now it says I have a /havp/havp.loop but I don't have the foggiest idea what that means!

Help vastly appreciated :)

Any more ideas on this anyone? Please?!
Basically no updates or packages will install at all. On looking I discover I have about 4 or 5 folders called 'havp' but they all seem to have different contents.
Every upgrade/package comes back with:
