Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.83
Severity: critical
Tags: patch
Justification: breaks unrelated software
I have tagged this bug as critical because the post removal script is
not idempotent (policy requirement) and because aptitude install and
remove operations fail as long as apt-listchanges postremoval script fails.
Before upgrading from lenny to squeeze I have started by upgrading
aptitude. Due to dependencies, aptitude tells me to remove
apt-listchanges. I say ok.
During upgrade of aptitude and removal of apt-listchanges the following
error appears:
Desinstalando apt-listchanges ...
mv: no se puede efectuar `stat' sobre
«/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges»: No existe el fichero o el
directorio
dpkg: error al procesar apt-listchanges (--remove):
el subproceso post-removal script devolvió el código de salida de error 1
i.e., /etc/apt/apt-conf.d/20listchanges doesn't exist. That's true.
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges.disabled also doesn't exist. What I
have here is /etc/apt/listchanges.conf instead.
Then I run manually /var/lib/dpkg/info/apt-listchanges.prerm and it runs
ok.
Then I run /varlib/dpkg/info/apt-listchanges.postrm and get the same
error. It gets solved when I change the folowing line:
if [ "$1" = "remove" ]; then
- mv $hook $hook.disabled
+ test -e $hook && mv $hook $hook.disabled
fi
This way the script is idempotent (it can be run several times without
failing).
Thank you very much for your great work at Debian.
Best regards,
Gonzalo.
