debian/samba.postrm calls update-inetd. If is called with "upgrade", then update-inetd may be called even if it is not present. If it is called with "upgrade", then although its presence is tested it may still not be configured This is causing upgrade errors going from Ubuntu Natty to Oneiric such as the following: Unpacking replacement samba ... [...] Can't locate File/Temp.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/perl5/DebianNet.pm line 18. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/DebianNet.pm line 18. Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/update-inetd line 23. dpkg: warning: subprocess old post-removal script returned error exit status 2 This can be reproduced by installing samba, manually removing (dpkg -r) update-inetd and its dependencies, unpacking update-inetd (dpkg --unpack) and then trying to purge samba. >From policy: The package whose postrm is being called may have previously been deconfigured and only be unpacked, at which point subsequent package changes do not consider its dependencies. Therefore, all postrm actions may only rely on essential packages and must gracefully skip any actions that require the package's dependencies if those dependencies are unavailable. Launchpad bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/862129 Some more discussion here: https://code.launchpad.net/~racb/ubuntu/oneiric/samba/862129/+merge/78862 The general recommendation seems to be that update-inetd should not be in postrm, but moved to prerm, at which point update-inetd should still be configured. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
