I am using Ubuntu 14.04(with Unity). Just today(as of the date of this post) I did a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
and at the end of the 'Upgrade' process I got the following error :-
Setting up crossplatformui (1.0.38) ...
* Stopping ACPI services... [ OK ]
* Starting ACPI services... [ OK ]
package libqtgui4 exist
QT_VERSION = 4
make -C /lib/modules/3.13.0-27-generic/build M=/usr/local/bin/ztemtApp/zteusbserial/below2.6.27 modules

dpkg: error processing package crossplatformui (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:
crossplatformui
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
From then on whatever apt-get
command I use(so far as I know, except apt-get update
) I keep getting the above error at the end of the process. But whichever apt-get
command I use does what it has to without fail.(For example I tried installing blender with sudo apt-get install blender
and it installed fine though it showed the above error.) After this I even got a kernel update(from 3.13.0-27 to 3.13.0-29 via the Software Updater), but even now the issue persists. How do I solve this issue?
