Cause:

The script /var/lib/ovid/customization/pgpupdate-post-install-hook.sh contains an entry to try to uninstall the package gnutls. This script runs immediately after the upgrade. The entry to uninstall gnutls fails because it is required by other packages.

Resolution:

This error can be ignored because the error is a result of a failure to uninstall the gnutls package and this package should not be uninstalled.
