Package: menu
Version: 2.1.19
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.9
Greetings,
During a woody->sarge upgrade, the new menu unpacked before the old
ghostview was removed, resulting in the following breakage:
Removing ghostview ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ghostview.postrm: /usr/bin/update-menus: Permission denied
dpkg: error processing ghostview (--purge):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
I believe this is because update-menus was non-executable, which I have
heard you do in order to prevent packages from calling it before the
package is configured. (I understand this is not quite the same as
Policy 10.9, but reportbug asked for a policy section. :-)
How to fix this? I suppose you could conflict with ghostview, which is
now obsolete, so it gets removed before menu is upgraded. Most other
woody packages (at least, all others installed on my one remaining woody
system) use test -x update-menus to avoid calling it if not executable,
so those should upgrade just fine.
Thanks,
-Adam
