Bug#917054: Template parse error near `in Sekunden.', in stanza #18 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/dump1090-mutability.templates

[Matthew W.S. Bell]

Package: dump1090-mutability
Version: 1.15~20180310.4a16df3+dfsg-4
Severity: grave

This version of the package is uninstallable:

Setting up dump1090-mutability (1.15~20180310.4a16df3+dfsg-4) ...
Template parse error near `in Sekunden.', in stanza #18 of 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/dump1090-mutability.templates
dpkg: error processing package dump1090-mutability (--configure):
 installed dump1090-mutability package post-installation script subprocess 
returned error exit status 25

Examining the package's template file reveals that, in the stanza for
dump1090-mutability/net-out-interval, wrapping of multiple lines is not as
rfc2822(?) records require. This seems to be the only issue, and resolving
it allows the package to finish installing.

Bug#913811: iptables fails to upgrade from 1.8.1-2 to 1.8.2-1

[Matthew W.S. Bell]

For the avoidance of doubt: all shell file test operators act on the target
of symbolic links, except for -h/-L, the test for a file being a symbolic
link.

Bug#902794: Misuse of "async" keyword causes syntax error in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gpodder/gtkui/services.py

[Matthew W.S. Bell]

Package: gpodder
Version: 3.10.3-1
Severity: grave

Hi,

As per subject; replacing "async" with another name clears the syntax
error. This error makes the package uninstallable. Please also see the
following information:


Setting up gpodder (3.10.3-1) ...
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gpodder/gtkui/services.py", line 104

Bug#829404: dpkg-maintscript-helper dir_to_symlink confused when changing from amd64 to all on upgrade of package imagemagick

[Matthew W.S. Bell]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.18.7
Severity: serious
Justification: Prevents the installation of a packages/leaves package
in a broken state.

Hi,

Installing a new version of the package imagemagick is failing:

#dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/imagemagick_8%3a6.9.2.10+dfsg-2_all.deb 
(Reading database ... 431189 files and directories currently installed.)

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/imagemagick_8%3a6.9.2.10+dfsg-2_all.deb

The current status of the package imagemagick from dpkg -l is:
ii  imagemagick  8:6.9.1.2-1 amd64   image manipulation 
programs -- binaries

The problematic output appears to be coming from 
dpkg-maintscript-helper, invoked with the following dpkg environment
variables, and command line:
DPKG_ROOT=
DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_DEBUG=1
DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH=all
DPKG_RUNNING
_VERSION=1.18.7
DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME=preinst
DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE=im
agemagick
DPKG_ADMINDIR=/var/lib/dpkg
#dpkg-maintscript-helper dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/imagemagick 
/usr/share/doc/imagemagick-6-common 8:6.9.2.10+dfsg-2~ -- upgrade 8:6.9.1.2-1 
8:6.9.2.10+dfsg-2

The problem seems to be that dpkg-maintscript-helper is expecting that
the already installed version is of the same architecture as given in
DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH. It is unclear to me if this is a deficiency of
dpkg-maintscript-helper or the caller.

Thanks,
Matthew W.S. Bell
