Package: dc Version: 1.06.95-3 Severity: serious Justification: §6.1: maintainer scripts must be proper executable files … they must start with the usual #! convention
Hi! We discovered in #debian today that the dc package contains invalid maintainer scripts. The postrm script, for example is just the following: # Automatically added by dh_installmenu if [ -x "`which update-menus 2>/dev/null`" ]; then update-menus ; fi # End automatically added section That is, there is no #! line. The previous version of the package has a much more extensive set of maintainer scripts. The current version in wheezy (1.06.95-2) does not suffer from this problem so users should be able to upgrade from squeeze to wheezy without issue. The package in sid is also installable in sid and wheezy because dpkg has changed its handling of broken maintainer scripts (#622094). The particular user in question was trying to upgrade directly from squeeze to sid hence squeeze's dpkg was trying to deal with this package; debating the merits of that sort of upgrade is quite separate to this broken maintainer script. cheers Stuart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
