--- Begin Message ---Package: mdadm Version: 3.3.2-2 Severity: serious SUMMARY: "set -u" breaks debconf. You can't have it in effect in your postrm when sourcing it. DETAILS: root@Heisenberg:~# dpkg --purge mdadm (Reading database ... 313312 files and directories currently installed.) Removing mdadm (3.3.2-2) ... Purging configuration files for mdadm (3.3.2-2) ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/mdadm.postrm: 9: /usr/share/debconf/confmodule: DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND: parameter not set dpkg: error processing package mdadm (--purge): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: mdadm root@Heisenberg:~# Adding set -x to the top of the postrm (editing the file in /var/lib/dpkg/info), shows that it's blowing up here: # Automatically added by dh_installdebconf if [ "$1" = purge ] && [ -e /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ]; then ---> . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule <--- db_purge fi And that's because you have "set -ue" at the top of the script, the -u being the problem. Once I remove that, the package purges successfully. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (150, 'unstable'), (125, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mdadm depends on: ii debconf 1.5.53 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-53.4 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13 ii udev 215-5+b1 Versions of packages mdadm recommends: ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-transport-agent] 4.84-2 ii module-init-tools 18-3 mdadm suggests no packages.
