Package: python-pil Version: 3.0.0-1 Severity: important Attempting to configure or remove python-pil will fail if more than one instance of this package is present:
dpkg-query: error: --listfiles needs a valid package name but 'python-pil' is not: ambiguous package name 'python-pil' with more than one installed instance Since python-pil is Multi-Arch: same, an architecture qualifier is required when calling dpkg-query, either directly or by proxy (via pycompile/pyclean). (I've set the severity to important, as merely unpacking the package is enough to get stuck, given that the prerm script invokes pyclean/dpkg-query unconditionally.) -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/3 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages python-pil depends on: ii libc6 2.21-6 ii libfreetype6 2.6.1-0.1 iu libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.4.1-2 ii liblcms2-2 2.6-3+b3 ii libtiff5 4.0.6-1 ii libwebp5 0.4.4-1+b1 ii libwebpdemux1 0.4.4-1+b1 ii libwebpmux1 0.4.4-1+b1 it mime-support 3.59 ii python 2.7.11-1 pn python:any <none> ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 python-pil recommends no packages.
