Package: zsh Version: 5.0.2-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Today I upgraded my zsh package from 4.3.17-1 to 5.0.2-3, along with a somewhat large number of packages. Because there were quite a few packages being upgraded at once, there was a significant amount of time between when the new version of zsh was unpacked to replace the old version and the when the postinst script was run. During this time, my system was left in a somewhat broken state due to many things trying to run /bin/zsh which was still pointing at the (already removed) /bin/zsh4 through the alternatives system. I don't know if there's anything which can be done to alleviate this issue, but it would certainly be nice if some improvement could be made. As jessie and sid diverge even more from wheezy the amount of packages upgraded at a single time is likely to increase for people switching, further increasing the amount of time where systems are left in a bad state. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-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 zsh depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.10 ii libc6 2.17-1 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1.2 ii libtinfo5 5.9-10 ii zsh-common 5.0.2-3 Versions of packages zsh recommends: ii libncursesw5 5.9-10 ii libpcre3 1:8.31-2 Versions of packages zsh suggests: pn zsh-doc <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/zsh/zshrc changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
