Subject: apt-listbugs: Breaks installation if removed and not purged Package: apt-listbugs Version: 0.0.90 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello,
I am aware that the 0.0.90 version is not in lenny nor in squeeze,
but I've checked the faulty script and it has the same form in 0.0.89.
The problem is that I have tried to remove apt-listbugs and after its
removal all package manipulation fails with this message:
/bin/sh: /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs: not found
E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10 returned an error
code (10)
E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10
The problem is that once uninstalled and not purged this command/hook
fails (/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs):
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10"};
Since /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs is no longer present. The problem is that
even if one tries to install back via dpkg apt-listbugs and no longer
has the ruby deps, the problem still persists.
I am aware this is very, very late in the release schedule, so here is
my proposed fix:
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || [ ! -x
/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs ] || exit 10"};
or this form, if you prefer it:
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"[ ! -x /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs ] ||
/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10"};
