I'm not sure splitting unopkg out into a separate package would actually help, given that it would need to have the libraries it depends on also included, which is some 13 libs from libreoffice-core.
$ ldd /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/unopkg.bin | awk '/=>/ { print $3 }'| xargs -n1 readlink -f | sort -u | xargs dpkg -S | grep -c libreoffice-core 18 $ Why does this trigger belong to libreoffice-common in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to have the postinst trigger in the libreoffice- core package? Note that regardless of whether the package is split or the trigger is moved, precise libreoffice-core probably needs to declare a Breaks: on the old version of libreoffice-common, since libreoffice-common hasn't yet been touched as part of this upgrade when this breakage happened. ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917153 Title: failed to upgrade from oneiric to precise: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/unopkg.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libicule.so.48: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “libreoffice” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: Automated upgrade testing Oneiric to Precise AMD64/i386 https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Precise%20Upgrade%20Testing%20Dashboard/job/precise-upgrade-amd64/PROFILE=universe-amd64,label=wazn-upgrade/ Upgrade fails with Processing triggers for libreoffice-common ... /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/unopkg.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libicule.so.48: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing libreoffice-common (--unpack): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: libreoffice (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-8.15-generic 3.2.0 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-8-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.90-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Jan 16 14:24:14 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/917153/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
