subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 102

Seems like Rudi (a colleague) helped me solve the problem, here are the steps.
- got inside this folder by: $ cd /etc/rc2.d/
- and checked all the links, particularly to see the link between K09samba and samba by: $ ls -al (this is what we found K09samba -> /samba)
- then removed K09samba by: $ sudo rm K09samba
- then removed samba by: $ sudo apt-get remove -f samba
- we then did this: sudo apt-get -f install (might not do anything)
- the install samba: $sudo apt-get install samba
- and created the soft link: $ sudo ln -s ../init.d/samba K09samba
Then everything worked. We followed the same procedure in rc3.d strating changing the directory.

It works! Same problem when upgrading from Dapper Drake to Edy Eft.

the remedy works in 2008 also. fixed my problem.
now question opens why the bug not fixed yet by any of users who develop softwares

This method was too involved for me but I was able to uninstall an older wicd from my Hardy via method in this post...
http://wicd.net/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=71

Download the newest stable version of wicd
Open a terminal
paste this in and run it ... sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/wicd.prerm ~/Desktop
This step moves a trouble-making file to the Desktop
Once I did this I was able to Completely Remove the old wicd via Synaptic Manager
Once removed, launch the downloaded latest version to install cleanly.

PS. A reboot may be necessary. I was on mine, as I lost connectivity once I uninstalled.

So I did it in these steps:
1. Download the newest stable from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=194573
2. Moved the trouble-file file to somewhere else by opening a terminal and entering this:
    sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/wicd.prerm ~/Desktop
3. Used Synaptic Package Manager to Search for wicd and then Completely Uninstalled it.
4. Click System / Preferences / Sessions
5. in Startup Programs TAB, make sure there are no entries selected that say wicd in them.
    (An older version of wicd had some put a tray.py entry here to give the icon)
6. Double-click on the downloaded ".deb" file to install it.
    (It may complain that there is a version in the packages, but go forward.)
7. Reboot
8. Do you see a wicd icon in your notification tray area?
9. Good job!

Hmmm. Just tried again with a new computer and had to add one other thing:
Go to SYSTEM \ PREFS \ SESSIONS
In STARTUP PROGRAMS tab...
Look for an entry for wicd
If there, select it and click on Edit.
See if the entry says wicd-client in the Command box. If not, change it.

Now reboot. You should see the tray icon in the system tray upon reboot.
