Briefly describe your issue below:
after running sudo parrot-upgrade a few days ago I started getting the following error

dpkg: error processing package python-faraday (--configure):
 installed python-faraday package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

I tried sudo apt-get install --fix-broken
with no success.

I then tried ‘sudo dpkg --configure -a’
and got the traceback below

This error is from setup script, and --fix-broken works for debian packages only. That is why --fix-broken can’t fix your problem. Have you used faraday before it was upgraded? If yes, you have to drop your database, remove faraday user and run full upgrade again.
When you complete it, please run faraday as root user (first time must be run as root user) and let our start script create database automatically (it worked for me on parrot 4.5 fresh install).
Please comment here if you have any error. We are here to help :smiley:

thanks for the reply. I did not think that I had run Faraday on this install at all, so I checked the database:
MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW DATABASES;
±-------------------+
| Database |
±-------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| phpmyadmin |
±-------------------+
4 rows in set (0.001 sec)

It does not appear to be there…if I apt purge python-faraday and then apt install will that fix my glitch without breaking anything else?

faraday uses postgresql database. Please search with keyword faraday in the forum, you will see commands to do this task

That worked for me.
did you mean purge and reinstall?
Then i guess it is completely different problem.

8

Yes purge and reinstall. All it did was remove the single package .

9

Can you show us your apt log after purge and install python-faraday. Just its log. I guess it was missing libs or something. Just to make sure

LoL this time setup script played users LoL.

so the purge and re-install of python-faraday worked & fixed my issue with that…I just wanted to be reasonably sure it would not wreak havoc on anything else prior to my going that route.

Thanks to all for input!
