[Bug 340718] Re: [jaunty] irda-utils won't install (depends on update-modules in postinst)

[Thomas Trummer]

There are at least two bugs marked as duplicate of this one (eg.
#353911) whose issue still exists in the latest Karmic package (although
installation doesn't fail):

Setting up irda-utils (0.9.18-9ubuntu1) ...
.udevdb or .udev presence implies active udev.  Aborting MAKEDEV invocation.

[Bug 340718] Re: [jaunty] irda-utils won't install (depends on update-modules in postinst)

[Steve Beattie]

I have reproduced the post-installation failure of irda-utils
0.9.18-8.1ubuntu1 in jaunty and can confirm that the version of irda-
utils in jaunty-proposed, 0.9.18-8.1ubuntu1.1, does successfully
complete installation with the removal of the call to update-modules.
However, the postinstall script still contains the problematic calls to
MAKEDEV with:

  cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV irda && ./MAKEDEV irnet

Because of the multiple &&s, /dev/MAKEDEV's non-existence doesn't cause
the script (and thus, installation of the package) to fail, but it does
result in an error message being reported. It look like udev handles
these devices (modprobe-ing irnet results in the /dev/irnet device
getting automatically generated) thus the calls to MAKEDEV to set them
up statically are probably no longer necessary, but I don't have any
irda hardware so I can't verify that everything is working properly.

Given that the package in -proposed at least allows installation to complete, I 
believe this package is okay to release; marking verification-done.

Accepted irda-utils into jaunty-proposed, the package will build now and
be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Bug 340718] Re: [jaunty] irda-utils won't install (depends on update-modules in postinst)

[Steve Langasek]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: irda-utils
  
  Hp dv6000 (dv6131od)
  Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty added myth+studio packages
  
  ProblemType: Package
  Architecture: i386
  DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04
  ErrorMessage: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 
127
  Package: irda-utils 0.9.18-8.1ubuntu1
  SourcePackage: irda-utils
  Title: package irda-utils 0.9.18-8.1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: 
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
  Uname: Linux 2.6.28-8-generic i686
+ 
+ SRU justification:  package is completely uninstallable in jaunty,
+ because it calls a non-existing utility in the postinst.
+ 
+ Addressed in karmic, as indicated in the bug log below.
+ 
+ TEST CASE: try to install the irda-utils package in jaunty.  It will
+ fail.  Then enable jaunty-proposed and try again.
+ 
+ REGRESSION POTENTIAL:  because the package is uninstallable in jaunty,
+ and was so for much of the release cycle, it is possible that successful
+ installation of the package will introduce other regressions in untested
+ code paths.  However, the theoretical possibility of such a regression
+ does not outweigh the need for an installable package.
