Bug#351326: xserver-xorg: trouble purging

2006-02-03 Thread Lars Wirzenius
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4

While I was testing xserver-xfree86 (which just depends on xserver-xorg)
with piuparts, I got the following error:

0m12.6s ERROR: Command failed (status=256): 'chroot /tmp/tmpS7lFxN dpkg
--purge --pending'
  (Reading database ... 6930 files and directories currently installed.)
  Removing xserver-xorg ...
  Purging configuration files for xserver-xorg ...
   Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/xserver-xorg ...
  dpkg: error processing xserver-xorg (--purge):
   subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 20

Unfortunately, the X packages have maintainer scripts that scare me and
confuse me, so I failed to find the reason for this problem. Sorry.

I have attached the bzip2'd piuparts log file. If I can provide
assistance in debugging this, please don't hesitate to ask.

At the very end of xserver-xorg.postrm it sources
/usr/share/debconf/confmodule to call db_purge (added by
dh_installdebconf) and gets reinvoked under debconf. Then update-rc.d 
prints the same message about startup links to debconf redirected
stdout, which makes debconf bail out.
