[Bug 901741] Re: perl-modules lucid->precise upgrade failure: debsums needs to restrict itself to Essential dependencies

2012-03-13 Thread Colin Watson
It occurs to me on analysis of apt that the debsums part of this cannot possibly cause an upgrade failure. The reason for this is that DPkg ::Post-Invoke hooks are run in precisely three cases: 1) waitpid for dpkg failed (i.e. some kind of programming error); return code from Post-Invoke is ig

Avoiding things like File::Find in debsums is rather difficult. There's another possibility: we could just have debsums bail out cleanly (with an error message) if File::Find can't be imported. apt will get round to running it again at a more convenient time anyway, and it will catch up with all

Sounds great. Given the large number of packages using defoma, it might be worth a comprehensive scan across lucid to make sure the no-op prerm is in place for all of them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.l

Thanks for looking at this Colin; I appreciate the eyes! It's in the depths of dark magic to me sometimes. For this to work reliably in a cross-version lucid->precise upgrade, however, won't you need to push a new libwmf0.2-7 package in lucid that fixes its prerm? -- You received this bug notifi
