ubuntu-keyring/minimal problem

Asked by nikynax

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10. I did this when the Ubuntu update manager told me a new release was out, so I guess it was in October. Now when I try to upgrade anything with this update manager, or install packages either with the Synaptic package manager, or the apt-get command in a bash terminal, it seems to download and install everything, then tells me:

An Error Occured:
E: ubuntu-keyring: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
E: ubuntu-minimal: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

The terminal gives:

Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Errors were encountered while processing:
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-minimal:
 ubuntu-minimal depends on ubuntu-keyring; however:
  Package ubuntu-keyring is not configured yet.

Any way to fix this? I think it is a ubuntu-minimal problem.....
