Bug#239719: xserver-xfree86: v4.3.0-7 post-installation script returned error exit status 139

2004-03-25 Thread Greg Folkert 
Another piece, I believe the real problem is this, going through the
output I saw the "DISCOVERED_VIDEO="

> duke:~# discover --type-summary display
> Segmentation fault
> duke:~#

Discover updated on 23Mar2004. Which may explain why my other machines
are just fine.

> ii  discover 2.0.3-3 hardware identification system
> ii  discover-data2.2004.02.24-3  Data lists for Discover hardware 
> detection system
> ii  libdiscover-dev  2.0.3-3 hardware identification library 
> development files
> ii  libdiscover2 2.0.3-3 hardware identification library

Might be unrealated, but seriously affecting many packages, and making
some packages not able to even run or work. (Like me right now)

Heads or tails, it still has an effect of being a disabling piece in
xserver-xfree86

It won't, because debconf re-executes the maintainer script, losing the
-x flag.

The bug submitter needs to do this instead:

# /usr/share/debconf/frontend sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.config 
configure

Okay here is the deal. It will NOT install. I have done as best I can to
get everything right for your needs.

Well here the update:

I hacked /var/lib/dpkg/status and the other apropos scripts to reflect
-5. As I had done a --ignore-depend on a remove --purge hoping I could
fix it this way. (Nope)

Extracted the setup on another machine to -5, moved things over proper.
Reflects a non-configured unpacked -5. the dpkg --configure for 4.3.0-5
is near the end. I chose to give you as much info as possible to quarter
any other requests you may have. I just would like to get the solution
as quickly as possible.

That does not work:
* Because of the way debconf double-executes the config script set -x
  set for the current shell is not used when actually running the
  script.
* Editing /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.* is lost
  when running 'dpkg  --install', the interesting scripts (.config and
  .postinst - one of these was failing) are overwritten and the
  changes are lost before they are executed.

Please install -7, *then* edit
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.(postinst|config) and afterwards
run dpkg --configure xserver-xfree86.

Okay Gents. Have done the editing of

/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.[pre|post]inst

To have "set -x" as the second line

As they Both now are faulty since I downgraded to -5 and the re-updated to
-7

I even did a "set -x" before I ran the command, as you will see.

-- Begin xf86-install-set-x-debug-out

Before this output of script, I edited both
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.preinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.postinst
to have "set -x" as the second line.

Looks like the errors of significance are in
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/

Well that doesn't exist now. Because it gets removed by post error
cleanup.

One last thing I also cleaned out all the 4.3.0-7 package from
/var/cache/apt/archives and re-D/Ld the 4.3.0-7 packages from Master to be
sure.

Have fun. You know how to get ahold of me.

This exit code is certainly due to a SIGSEGV in a subprocess.
In order to determine the culprit, please add 'set -x' at line 2 of
xserver-xfree86.config (as mentioned earlier by Andreas) and re-run
the command above.  This should tell which command segfaults.

Please now know, that I needed to restart this machine to run 2.6.4-1-k7
and also finally installed udev.

As of right now, I have zero X displays on the machine available to me.
I did remove udev and similar results.

Another tidbit, I have another machine I updated just after the -7
revision came out. Runs fine. But now that I have updated it to current.
It also fails to be able to runs dpkg-reconfigure as well.

Further more, I have back revd the machine I originally had the problem
with to -5. Still has the same issue. So, it might be something that has
changed OUTSIDE xserver-xfree86.

I believe the this will need to be changed back to grave soon.

Neither am I, but don't let that stop you.

This bug matches the criteria for "important" exactly:
| important
|a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
|without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.

Clearly it is not "unusable to everyone" otherwise it would have been
reported a week ago.

I am not downgrading it, as I am no part of the xfree86
maintainer-team.

DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg --configure xserver-xfree86
or temporarily adding "set -x" as 2nd line to
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.postinst and running
"dpkg --configure xserver-xfree86" might show useful information.

Justification: renders package unusable
 
First off, bang up job on the X Strike Force. Thanks for your help and efforts 
with Debian and Upstream devel.
 
Performed a dist-upgrade. So I am working. But I did do a base install, then an 
"dpkg --set-selections" "apt-get
dselect-upgrade" to test this out and did cause the same error.
 
Reporting from my regular machine. I am currently working, currently 
dpkg-reconfigure won't work should I change something
 
Here is the output of dpkg --configure --debug=3773 etc
