Package: chkrootkit Version: 0.52-3 Severity: important On a system running buster, I just had a failure upgrading the package.
I put 'set -x' in chkrootkit.postinst so that we can see where its failing. Here's the output: Setting up chkrootkit (0.52-3) ... + . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule + [ ! ] + PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 + export PERL_DL_NONLAZY + [ ] + exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/chkrootkit.postinst configure 0.52-2 dpkg: error processing package chkrootkit (--configure): installed chkrootkit package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 128 With or without that 'set -x' in the postinst, debconf/frontend is barfing out silently: # /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/chkrootkit.postinst configure 0.52-2 # echo $? 128 I'm not clear how to further debug this but please let me know if I can help in any way. -- ...Adam Di Carlo...<a.p.dica...@gmail.com>............................ -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (1001, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages chkrootkit depends on: ii binutils 2.31.1-15 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.71 ii libc6 2.28-8 ii net-tools 1.60+git20180626.aebd88e-1 ii openssh-client 1:7.9p1-6 ii procps 2:3.3.15-2 chkrootkit recommends no packages. chkrootkit suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * chkrootkit/diff_mode: true * chkrootkit/run_daily: true * chkrootkit/run_daily_opts: -q -n
