[Bug 861584] Re: package flashplugin-installer 10.3.183.10ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

2011-10-03 Thread nils 
This bug started showing up for me when jumping onto the kubuntu beta2.
There was a network manager bug that killed my GSM connection, and when
the flashplugin-installer wanted to download it couldn't. Since then
(even with remove and install via apt, including --purge) the bug
persists.

2011-10-03 Thread nils 
sudo apt-get remove  --purge flashplugin-downloader flashplugin-installer
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

is a workaround, fixed the problem for me. The dpkg workaround in the
bug report did NOT work for me.

2011-09-28 Thread Steve Langasek 
The upgrade log shows:

Setting up flashplugin-downloader:i386 (10.3.183.10ubuntu5) ...
[...]
Connessione a archive.canonical.com|91.189.88.33|:80... fallito: Connessione 
scaduta.
Rinuncio.

download failed
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
Setting up flashplugin-installer (10.3.183.10ubuntu5) ...
nspluginwrapper: /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so is not a 
valid NPAPI plugin
dpkg: error processing flashplugin-installer (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

So flashplugin-installer has failed to install because flashplugin-
downloader, which it depends on, has failed to download the plugin.
flashplugin-downloader is marked as installed in spite of this failure,
and flashplugin-installer then tries to make use of the file that is
supposed to have been downloaded.

That's because of the following code in the maintainer script:

fp_exit_with_error() {
echo $1
echo The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
db_fset flashplugin-installer/local seen false
db_fset flashplugin-installer/httpget seen false
db_set flashplugin-installer/httpget false
exit 0 # still install the Debian package, undoes the fix for #387263
}

This last line should be changed to 'exit 1'.  The package should never
be marked installed when the download has not succeeded, because it
breaks reverse-dependencies and leaves users with no clear way to get
the plugin properly installed.

For the life of me I don't know why the Debian maintainer did it this
way.
