I installed the update via the alternate 8.04.1 CD on my 32-bit laptop, with the internet updates turned on. Then I rebooted and included the medibuntu repo, which got another 96MB of updates. All went well except for lirc, which won't update. It says:

>> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/lirc_0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7.1_i386.deb: subprocess new post-removal script killed by signal (Segmentation fault)<<

It never goes away from the update manager. While I use my laptop as a mythtv frontend, I do not have any remote control used with it - hence I don't even *need* lirc, except I can't remove it using Synaptic without removing mythbuntu-control-center and two other essential-looking things.

I'd like to upgrade lirc, mainly to get it off my upgrade manager list.

Edit: Huh. Last night it did this, this morning an update ran and it worked. Now I'd just like to know why weather.niu.edu crashes both Firefox and Epiphany.
