Package: softhsm Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
After installation of softshm and purging again, dpkg fails to work, spitting out the following: Reading changelogs... Done Extracting templates from packages: 100% Preconfiguring packages ... dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: syntax error: unknown group 'softhsm' in statoverride file E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Press return to continue. Looking around I found this: root@auryn:~# grep soft /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride root softhsm 2770 /var/lib/softhsm root softhsm 750 /etc/softhsm root softhsm 640 /etc/softhsm/softhsm.conf ...and (since the package is purged) this: root@auryn:~# ls /var/lib/softhsm /etc/softhsm ls: cannot access /var/lib/softhsm: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /etc/softhsm: No such file or directory Trying to fix through tools failed: root@auryn:~# dpkg-statoverride --remove --force /var/lib/softhsm /etc/softhsm dpkg-statoverride: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: syntax error: unknown group 'softhsm' in statoverride file ...but simply removing the lines from /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride worked. - Jonas -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=da_DK.utf8, LC_CTYPE=da_DK.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages softhsm depends on: pn libbotan-1.8.2 <none> (no description available) ii libc6 2.11.2-13 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.5.2-7 GCC support library ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.5-1 SQLite 3 shared library ii libstdc++6 4.5.2-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 pn softhsm-common <none> (no description available) softhsm recommends no packages. softhsm suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
