Petit problème rencontré avec Debian lors d'une mise à jour :

The following partially installed packages will be configured:
  sane-utils 
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
Setting up sane-utils (1.0.24-7) ...
saned:x:109:115::/home/saned:/bin/false
Moveing homedir from /home/saned to /var/lib/saned
usermod: user saned is currently used by process 1799
dpkg: error processing package sane-utils (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 8
Errors were encountered while processing:
 sane-utils
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Failed to perform requested operation on package.  Trying to recover:
Setting up sane-utils (1.0.24-7) ...

Cela semble pouvoir se régler en tuant le processus 1799 puis en effectuant la modification de dossier 'home' manuellement pour l'utilisateur saned :

kill 1799
usermod -d /var/lib/saned saned

Et hop le tour est joué !

Bonne journée.
