Hello,
Installing python 2.4.4-5 (upgrade) fails on postinst :
(sorry localized dpkg messages)
$ dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/python_2.4.4-5_all.deb
(Lecture de la base de données... 214787 fichiers et répertoires déjà
installés.)
Préparation du remplacement de python 2.4.4-5 (en utilisant
.../python_2.4.4-5_all.deb) ...
Dépaquetage de la mise à jour de python ...
Paramétrage de python (2.4.4-5) ...
dpkg : erreur de traitement de python (--install) :
le sous-processus post-installation script a retourné une erreur de sortie
d'état 1
Des erreurs ont été rencontrées pendant l'exécution :
python
Looking at postinst, the issue is on /var/lib/python :
$ sh -x -e ./postinst configure
+ [ -d /etc/python ]
+ [ -f /etc/python/debian_config ]
+ [ -n ]
+ [ -f /var/lib/python/python2.5_already_installed ]
+ rm -f /var/lib/python/python2.5_already_installed
+ rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /var/lib/python
My system didn't have /var/lib/python, so rmdir returns an exit status that
makes the postinst script die. Creating /var/lib/python fixed the install.
Simple workaround for the script : ignore rmdir result with eg "||
/bin/true", or test the presence of the directory before calling rmdir.
Regards,
