Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 0.76.3
Severity: important
Hi,
Before the upgrade, the configuration file /etc/profile was not declared
as a conf file in the 'base-files' package (checked via «dpkg -S»).
This caused u-a to fail at detecting the conffile prompt:
| Extracting templates from packages: 100%
| Preconfiguring packages ...
| (Reading database ... 319320 files and directories currently installed.)
| Preparing to replace base-files 6.7 (using .../base-files_6.8_i386.deb) ...
| Unpacking replacement base-files ...
| Processing triggers for man-db ...
| Processing triggers for install-info ...
| Setting up base-files (6.8) ...
|
| Configuration file `/etc/profile'
| ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
| ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
| What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
| Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
| N or O : keep your currently-installed version
| D : show the differences between the versions
| Z : start a shell to examine the situation
| The default action is to keep your current version.
| *** profile (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing base-files
(--configure):
| EOF on stdin at conffile prompt
| Errors were encountered while processing:
| base-files
|
| Error in function:
| SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
| ERROR:root:Installing the upgrades failed!
| ERROR:root:error message: 'installArchives() failed'
I was not able to reproduce (for debug) by downgrading because «dpkg»
marked the file as conffile and did not prompt for installing the new
version afterwards. Could be a bug in dpkg?
Thanks
