Bug#721329: debconf: dpkg-reconfigure -a fails on fresh wheezy installation

2013-08-30 Thread Jari Jokinen
Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.49
Severity: important

Running dpkg-reconfigure -a fails on every fresh installations of wheezy.

Error:

  # dpkg-reconfigure --all
  ... [removed gpg output] ...
  update-alternatives: using /usr/share/man/man7/bash-builtins.7.gz to
  provide /usr/share/man/man7/builtins.7.gz (builtins.7.gz) in auto mode
  [ ok ] Stopping periodic command scheduler: cron.
  [ ok ] Starting periodic command scheduler: cron.
  update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
  /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: initramfs-tools is broken or not fully installed

I have tried to build the system with Debian Installer (from official netinst
CD image) and from the command line with debootstrap.

Not sure if the bug is in debconf or initramfs-tools, but this bug makes
dpkg-reconfigure -a totally unusable.

Bug#616007: dpkg-reconfigure cron fails

2011-03-01 Thread Jari Jokinen
Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-116
Severity: normal

Running dpkg-reconfigure cron fails in fresh installations of Debian
Squeeze 6.0 (amd64), which means also dpkg-reconfigure --all fails if
the cron package is installed.

Error message:

  dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: couldn't identify the package

I fixed the issue temporarily by commenting out all lines starting with
dpkg-maintscript-helper from the /var/lib/dpkg/info/cron.* files.
