Having a repeat issue with xulrunner-1.9.1 (e.g.: gnome-support). Help appreciated

Asked by I Haber

I'm getting repeat error messages when I'm trying to update Ubuntu and / or when trying to upload software (e.g. Adobe Reader)

Example error message reads like this:

E: xulrunner-1.9.1: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 135
E: xulrunner-1.9.1-gnome-support: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: yelp: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: evolution-documentation-en: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

If it matters, here is my system info:
Ubuntu release 9,10 (karmic)
Kernel Linux 2.6.31-22-generic
GNOME 2.28.1

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks, but I don't think it solved the issue. Here's what the terminal showed (...and BTW - my system crashed, as if I restarted my computer after the 1st time I ran this...):
