Avahi-dnsconfd new pre-removal script throws an error when updating

  • 772

I am using MATE 16.04 on an ASUS X550LA with 12 GB RAM, single user, FIREFOX 59.0.1 64 bit with DuckDuckGo.

Running Ubuntu Software Updater gave me following:-

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/avahi-dnsconfd_0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

After running Synaptic Package Manager to update, I also keep getting this message.

There do not appear to any problems with running any applications or in using the internet.

I shut down completely and did a cold reboot, but no change.

Can anyone help me resolve this and explain what the problem is please?

apt ubuntu-mate
