Package: icedtea-netx
Version: 1.5.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #759226
Hi,
The cause of the bug seems to be icedtea-netx.postinst.in file. If you
look into it carefully, it will try to install all alternatives
unconditionally, see below trimmed version for brevity.
There also seems to be a typo on the priority checks. Apparently the
checks don't match code.
[...]
| for i in $tools; do
| unset slave1 || true
| if [ -e $man7dir/man1/$i.$srcext ]; then
| slave1="--slave \
| /usr/share/man/man1/$i.$dstext \
| $i.$dstext \
| $man7dir/man1/$i.$srcext"
| fi
| update-alternatives \
it looks like this should be made conditional (see below)
| --install \
| /usr/bin/$i \
| $i \
| $base7dir/jre/bin/$i \
| $priority7 \
| $slave1
|
| # 6's priority is higher, but 6 is not installed, set it to 7
| if [ $priority -gt $priority7 ] && [ ! -f $base7dir/jre/bin/$i ]; then
it also looks like this is the wrong check. Shouldn't this be:
if [ $priority -gt $priority7 ] && [ ! -f $basedir/jre/bin/$i ]; then
| update-alternatives --set $i $base7dir/jre/bin/$i
| fi
|
| # 7's priority is higher, but 7 is not installed, set it to 6
| if [ $priority7 -gt $priority ] && [ ! -f $basedir/jre/bin/$i ]; then
Shouldn't this be :
if [ $priority7 -gt $priority ] && [ ! -f $base7dir/jre/bin/$i ]; then
| update-alternatives --set $i $basedir/jre/bin/$i
| fi
| done
|
| for i in $tools; do
| unset slave1 || true
| if [ -e $man8dir/man1/$i.$srcext ]; then
| slave1="--slave \
| /usr/share/man/man1/$i.$dstext \
| $i.$dstext \
| $man8dir/man1/$i.$srcext"
| fi
| update-alternatives \
this should also be conditional on their respective package being
installed or not. If you just call this update-alternatives line
directly without having openjdk-8 installed, you'll see that it fails
the same way. As a workaround on my machine (needed this working for
VPN) I just commented out openjdk-8 from this postinst script. A better
fix, however, would be to make both loops break early if the respective
package isn't installed; I guess...
| --install \
| /usr/bin/$i \
| $i \
| $base8dir/jre/bin/$i \
| $priority8 \
| $slave1
|
| # 7's priority is higher, but 7 is not installed, set it to 8
| if [ $priority7 -gt $priority8 ] && [ ! -f $base8dir/jre/bin/$i ]; then
shouldn't this one be:
if [ $priority7 -gt $priority8 ] && [ ! -f $base7dir/jre/bin/$i ]; then
| update-alternatives --set $i $base8dir/jre/bin/$i
| fi
|
| # 8's priority is higher, but 8 is not installed, set it to 7
| if [ $priority8 -gt $priority7 ] && [ ! -f $base7dir/jre/bin/$i ]; then
And this, shouldn't it be ?
if [ $priority8 -gt $priority7 ] && [ ! -f $base8dir/jre/bin/$i ]; then
| update-alternatives --set $i $base7dir/jre/bin/$i
| fi
| done
cheers
