Comment 7 for bug 577122

1. I did what you suggested. The results are below.
1a. How do I get 0.12.8-0ubuntu5 instead of 0.12.8-0ubuntu4?
1b. What's causing "subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 245"? How can I track down this problem?

2. This bug got filed against "empathy". Where is that bug tracker?

Thanks for your help,
Chelmite

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder: Depends: rhythmbox (= 0.12.8-0ubuntu4) but 0.12.8-0ubuntu5 is to be installed
  rhythmbox-plugins: Depends: rhythmbox (= 0.12.8-0ubuntu4) but 0.12.8-0ubuntu5 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
