package kismet 2011.03.R2-2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 6

You can see the problem in the end of DpkgTerminalLog.gz :

usermod: user 'root,brandonallenpdx' does not exist
dpkg: error processing kismet (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 6

You need to specify the user in a "space-separated" list, not a comma separated one.
Could you please purge the package:
  sudo apt-get purge kismet

and then install it again?

Ok that fixed it .. sorry about the false report. I was in a hurry so i didn't look at the info before submitting it. I would have come to the same conclusion.

Ubuntu 14.10 crashes at all!

Ubuntu 14.10 does not worked properly! Ubuntu 14.10 have broken at all!

I have reinstalled again Ubuntu 13.14, who works properly!

I will not work with Ubuntu 14.10! Never!

I have reinstalled my system, and I can't see the apps previously
purchased/installed, but I should be able to get them back doing
what you have mentioned in your previous answer.

(¡The system has asked me to upgrade from Ubuntu 13.10 to Ubuntu 14.10,
and I have upgraded it! A terrible mistake!)

Why you says that this apps might not be available for this newer
versions of the operating system? It should work properly!

I have purchased and installed the app a only a few days!

I wasted all my time and throw my money in the garbage!
