-Edit after closing-
I try to install ruby 3 to a Server and that kind of work, but when I check out my project and try bundle install I get the error message, that gem pg needs pgadmin, that is why I asked directly for the command. In this case it is related to programming…

— original question

I simply try to install pgadmin to an ubuntu machine, but it fails with the following Exception:

apt-get install pgadmin3

I tryed alot of different stuff, but nothing helped.
Tell me if you need mor information.

Is there a way to force dpkg to accept not configured?

Update

I tryed update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

and the ouptput can be found here
http://pastebin.com/9CjwLWgP

It looks like a bug without a solution, doesn’t it?

When I enter dpkg -l libc6 gdb libxml2

it occours

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

ii  libxml2        2.7.6.dfsg-1ub GNOME XML library

Update 2

I installed libxml2.7.7 (see history:)

wget ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.7.7.tar.gz
tar -xvzf libxml2-2.7.7.tar.gz 
cd libxml2-2.7.7
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/libxml2
make
sudo make install

But I still get an error, see http://pastebin.com/E8bNdp2G

Update 3
Problem solved!

here my last history:

wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libx/libxml2/libxml2_2.7.7.dfsg-4ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libxml2_2.7.7.dfsg-4ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb 
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install pgadmin3

Now i can use postgresql for my rails application 😀

Thank you Ariel!!!

    Please run: update-mime-database -V /usr/share/mime and show us the output.

    Looks like someone else has encountered this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shared-mime-info/+bug/775619

    And it seems to be an old bug too: http://pastebin.com/fcw2XQDY

    And it’s a perennial problem going back to 2006: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/desktop-bugs/2006-September/049391.html

    I would contact ubuntu using the first link I gave you. If they can’t help you, you may be able to force dpkg to consider shared-mime-info as configured even if it’s not.

    But first try the command I gave you, maybe it will give useful info. (That is the command that is crashing.)
