Package: libdvd-pkg Version: 1.4.2-1-1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: mar...@clan-strauss.de
Dear Maintainer, I upgraded from debian buster to bullseye. Afterwards libdvd-pkg reported the following error: libdvd-pkg: dpkg database is locked. You may need to use command "sudo dpkg- reconfigure libdvd-pkg". libdvd-pkg: Building and installation of package(s) [libdvdcss2 libdvdcss-dev] postponed till after next APT operation. This repeats for each "apt update". I spotted the same message on two different computers, guess more people might be affected. The package should download libdvdcss2 build and install it, which it doesn't because of the failed check. I tried the proposed "dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg" which just produces the same message. After some internet search I found the debian bug report #824093. There someone reported that the check had been broken and provided a patch. The patch is applied in the current version, however it seems that the check for the lock is once again broken. Basiclly it boils down to the following lines in the script: /usr/lib/libdvd-pkg/b-i_libdvdcss.sh line 20 dpkg -P non-existent-package 2>/dev/null if [ "$?" -eq 2 ]; then It seems the with dpkg in version 1.20.9 the return code is always 2 independent of whether a package manager like aptitude is running or not. Same is true for "dpkg -i /dev/zero" which was the previous version. I checked this on the command line, the return code does not reflect the lock status. No idea how to fix this, the returned message is translated, so no good to use that one. Maybe there is an official way how to do it, searching the internet didn't help there. Maybe ask the dpkg maintainer? -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-11-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libdvd-pkg depends on: ii build-essential 12.9 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.77 ii debhelper 13.3.4 ii dh-autoreconf 20 ii wget 1.21-1+deb11u1 Versions of packages libdvd-pkg recommends: ii libcap2-bin 1:2.44-1 libdvd-pkg suggests no packages. -- debconf information: libdvd-pkg/title_u: * libdvd-pkg/first-install: * libdvd-pkg/post-invoke_hook-install: true libdvd-pkg/post-invoke_hook-remove: false libdvd-pkg/title_b-i: libdvd-pkg/upgrade:
