The sreadahead->ureadahead upgrade appears to have forgotten to remove sreadahead's registered interest in init files: r...@goose:~# tail -4 /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File /etc/init sreadahead /etc/init.d sreadahead /etc/init ureadahead /etc/init.d ureadahead This might be purely a local mishap. I had moved back and forth between old-sreadahead and new-ureadahead while testing their relative performance, might have messed it up somehow. Anyway, just adding "triggered" to the list of no-op actions in sreadahead's postinst script would fix this regardless of how someone got there: r...@goose:~# diff -up /var/lib/dpkg/info/sreadahead.postinst{.orig,} --- /var/lib/dpkg/info/sreadahead.postinst.orig 2009-11-10 01:33:06.000000000 -0800 +++ /var/lib/dpkg/info/sreadahead.postinst 2009-12-08 23:37:46.000000000 -0800 @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ case "$1" in fi ;; - abort-upgrade|abort-deconfigure|abort-remove) + abort-upgrade|abort-deconfigure|abort-remove|triggered) ;; *) r...@goose:~# dpkg-trigger --by-package=sreadahead /etc/init.d r...@goose:~# dpkg --triggers-only sreadahead Processing triggers for sreadahead ... r...@goose:~# ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Dec 8 23:07:46 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: sreadahead 1:0.90.3-2 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=C SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-16.52-generic SourcePackage: ureadahead Uname: Linux 2.6.31-16-generic i686 ** Affects: ureadahead (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- /var/lib/dpkg/info/sreadahead.postinst called with unknown argument `triggered' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494350 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
