Wow, from your dpkg.log I can gather at least 3 issues. 2007-10-09 10:38:41 upgrade python-support 0.6.4 0.7.4 2007-10-09 10:38:41 status half-configured python-support 0.6.4 2007-10-09 10:38:41 status unpacked python-support 0.6.4 2007-10-09 10:38:41 status half-installed python-support 0.6.4 2007-10-09 10:38:42 status half-installed python-support 0.6.4 2007-10-09 10:38:42 status unpacked python-support 0.7.4 2007-10-09 10:38:42 status unpacked python-support 0.7.4 2007-10-09 10:45:25 upgrade bittornado-gui 0.3.18-3 0.3.18-4 2007-10-09 10:45:25 status half-configured bittornado-gui 0.3.18-3 2007-10-09 10:45:26 status unpacked bittornado-gui 0.3.18-3 2007-10-09 10:45:26 status half-installed bittornado-gui 0.3.18-3 2007-10-09 10:45:26 status half-installed bittornado-gui 0.3.18-3 2007-10-09 10:45:26 status unpacked bittornado-gui 0.3.18-4 2007-10-09 10:45:26 status unpacked bittornado-gui 0.3.18-4 2007-10-09 10:45:26 upgrade bittornado 0.3.18-3 0.3.18-4 2007-10-09 10:45:26 status half-configured bittornado 0.3.18-3 2007-10-09 10:45:28 status installed bittornado 0.3.18-3 2007-10-09 10:54:58 status unpacked python-support 0.7.4 2007-10-09 10:54:58 status half-configured python-support 0.7.4 2007-10-09 10:54:58 status installed python-support 0.7.4 First of all, bittornado failed to upgrade. I think this was either caused by a prerm failure or an unpack failure, leading in the end to have only bittornado 0.3.18-3 installed. So there's probably a bug in bittornado. It would be nice if you could tell us how Secondly, when an upgrade fails, the old postinst is executed with the "abort-upgrade" option. In this case, it seems a convention in debhelper snippets not to do anything. *This is definitely a bug* for several of them, including dh_pysupport. I will fix python-support for that issue and report another bug against debhelper. Thirdly, I notice that the postinst was executed before python-support was considered installed. This is harmless as it should work when only unpacked, but as bittornado has a Depends: on python-support, this looks like a bug in dpkg. Cheer up, four bugs in one :) -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org. Lower your prices, surrender your code. `. `' We will add your hardware and software distinctiveness to `- our own.
