Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.27
The attached package (and source) help demonstrate this issue. Just
install the package, and then mount a tmpfs in /tmp called 't'. Then,
place this package in that tmpfs and try to install it again. As far as
I know this doesn't affect any 'real' packages.
I was unable to reproduce the problem if the umount happened in the
preinst, only in the postrm of the package being upgraded.
Ie:
cp testcase_0.1-1_i386.deb /tmp
cd /tmp
dpkg -i testcase_0.1-1_i386.deb
mkdir t
mount -t tmpfs none t
cp testcase_0.1-1_i386.deb t
dpkg -i t/testcase_0.1-1_i386.deb
