Package: libapache2-mod-php7.0
Version: 7.0.33-0+deb9u7
Hey guys,
I wanted to report an issue that we faced some time ago:
https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2797
The postrm script calls "php_invoke dismod 7.0 apache2 $mod" to disable
the modules, but this fails if either
"/usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp7.0.so" or
"/etc/apache2/mods-avaialble/php7.0.load" are missing already for some
reason.
IMO any prerm/postrm script must not depend on any of the packages
files, that is about to be removed. With PHP7.3 packages this have been
solved, from what I can see. Either the scripts from PHP7.3 can be
adopted or otherwise a simple " || :" would allow the commands to fail.
Uninstall could be unclean, but IMO better then running into such very
very annoying state, that, because its about dpkg state, prevents
apt/dpkg from installing/upgrading anything else without final failure
(see above linked issue).
Best regards,
MichaIng

Okay, I tried to replicate the bug, but was unable on fresh Stretch. The
package removal/purge succeeds regardless of module files being present
or not, even that "a2enmod php7.0" throws the exact error from the
linked issue.
So before wasting anyone's time any more on oldstable, I close the bug
report. Sorry for the spam, I should have tested it first.
@Ondrej
I'll think about addressing Debian policy with this suggestion. It
simply makes sense that package removals cannot fail if any of its files
are missing already.
Best regards,
MichaIng
