Package: glances Version: 2.11.1-4 Severity: serious Upgrading glances from 2.11.1-3 to 2.11.1-4 fails for me as follows:
Setting up glances (2.11.1-4) ... Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/glances ... [warn] Stopping Glances server: glances [....] PID file not found ...

So please properly migrate settings from /etc/default/glances to whereever these settings are now stored. (Which probably means parsing /etc/default/glances a last time and then calling "update-rc.d" with "defaults-disabled" and then either removing that file or at least renaming it.) Or at least make sure that the package does not fail to upgrade in this case and issue a warning (either via debconf or via NEWS.Debian) that any settings from /etc/default/glances need to be migrated manually. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (110, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages glances depends on: ii adduser 3.117 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 ii node-normalize.css 8.0.0-3 ii python3 3.6.5-3 ii python3-pkg-resources 39.2.0-1 ii python3-psutil 5.4.6-1 Versions of packages glances recommends: ii hddtemp 0.3-beta15-53 ii lm-sensors 1:3.4.0-4 pn python3-bottle <none> ii python3-docker 2.5.1-1 pn python3-influxdb <none> ii python3-matplotlib 2.2.2-4 ii python3-netifaces 0.10.4-1 ii python3-pysnmp4 4.4.3-1 pn python3-pystache <none> Versions of packages glances suggests: pn glances-doc <none> -- no debconf information
