[Bug 344019] Re: update-alternatives: error or eof reading /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/gnome-video-thumbnailer for update_mode ()
This bug was fixed in the package dpkg - 1.16.1ubuntu1 --- dpkg (1.16.1ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: - Merge from git://git.debian.org/users/hertzog/dpkg.git pu/multiarch/full for multiarch support. - On upgrade from 1.16.0~ubuntu[1-3], if /var/lib/dpkg/info/$arch is a directory, migrate the contents to var/lib/dpkg/info; and handle the reverse on downgrade. This does not handle metadata for packages of foreign architectures. - Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the same time having translated debconf prompts. This is useful for tools that hide the dpkg terminal by default and use apport for bug reporting with the untranslated error message. - Add /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch as a conffile on amd64, so that users are guaranteed to always have it after upgrade even if they don't use update-manager for the upgrade itself. * Continue exporting compiler flags in dpkg-buildpackage, since we do not want to regress hardening support in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. We will revisit this for Ubuntu 12.10. dpkg (1.16.1) unstable; urgency=low [ Raphaël Hertzog ] * Dpkg::Deps: Implement new reset method and bump module version to 1.01 due to this. * Improved description of --search in dpkg-query(1). Closes: #621066 Thanks to Lars Buitinck larsm...@gmail.com for the patch. * Let update-alternatives fsync() its administrative files before moving them in place to avoid empty files with some filesystems. LP: #344019 * Tighten the regexp used by dpkg-source to ignore the .pc directory of quilt. Thanks to Mike Hommey for noticing the problem. * Change behaviour of dpkg-source's --extend-diff-ignore to also extend the current diff-ignore if it has already been set. * Fix dependency checking code to consider a dependency on a virtual package provided by a package in triggers-pending status as satisfied. * Do not fail when encountering a pre-dependency in triggers-awaited state, instead process the awaited triggers. Closes: #526774 * any no longer hides all in the Architecture field of a .dsc. * Fix dpkg --remove to really remove the triggers from the various internal files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/triggers/. Closes: #525160 * Avoid a perl warning in dpkg-gensymbols when no symbols file has been generated (because it would have been empty). Closes: #626684 * Re-enable the Package-List field but drop the Architecture column since we have no clear use case yet. It can always be added later on. Also drop the source line since it duplicates other fields. Closes: #619131 * Add the extraction part of Dpkg::Source::Package to the supported API. Useful to extract source packages without having to depend on dpkg-source (and hence dpkg-dev). * Add the Dpkg::Vendor module to the supported API. Useful for lintian when dpkg-dev is absent. * Check presence of required parameters in dpkg-vendor. Closes: #628726 Thanks to Niels Thykier ni...@thykier.net for the patch. * Avoid a Perl warning in dpkg-buildflags when HOME is not set. Closes: #635467 * dpkg-source can now also use debian/source/local-patch-header (that is not included in the generated source package) instead of debian/source/patch-header. Closes: #629582 * Changed dpkg-source --after-build to automatically unapply patches that it has applied during --before-build. * Fix two possible causes for the assertion failure pigp-trigpend_head. LP: #798793, #424358 Closes: #560251 * Use special instead of particular to qualify the 3.0 (custom) format in dpkg-source(1). Closes: #631435 * Add some supplementary checks to ensure debian/control has the required fields. Closes: #631439 * dpkg-gensymbols(1): document syntax of comments. Closes: #630996 * Allow empty lines in symbols files to better delimit multiple libraries. Thanks to Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org for the patch. * dpkg: if prerm upgrade fails when downgrading, do not try to run prerm failed-upgrade with the prerm of the oldest prerm, it can't work around a bug of a newer prerm anyway. * dpkg: support new interest-noawait and activate-noawait trigger directives. * dpkg-buildflags(1): make it clear that DEB_*_(SET|APPEND) environment variables are meant for users and should not be used by packages. * update-alternatives: do not allow to reuse a slave link in another slave alternative. Closes: #631547 * Improve dpkg-source's logic to identify ignored files. Closes: #632168 * Fix a small typo in dpkg-source(1). Closes: #632937 * Reword the description of dpkg-source --before-build and --after-build to be clearer. Closes: #608260 * dpkg-buildpackage no longer exports the compiler flags. Closes: #560070

This is likely caused by the lack of sync of the administrative file when it's updated by update-alternatives. With ext4 it is some possible under some conditions that the file was moved in place before that its content has been written... I have pushed a fix for this in upstream's git repository: 0e0e26cb8e9e3b8e3a60c329d8ea0c6e5445742c It will be fixed in Ubuntu the next time we sync dpkg = 1.16.1. ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: New = Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344019 Title: update-alternatives: error or eof reading /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives /gnome-video-thumbnailer for update_mode () -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Its unclear what is causing this issue, but I assign to dpkg for now as the file should not be empty. ** Package changed: totem (Ubuntu) = dpkg (Ubuntu) -- update-alternatives: error or eof reading /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/gnome-video-thumbnailer for update_mode () https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
