Public bug reported:
I have a package with a postinst containing:
# Update the console to a GB keyboard and the default fonts for that
# keyboard within the release.
setup_console() {
echo "Fixing console settings"
rm -f /etc/default/keyboard
rm -f /etc/default/console-setup
debconf-set-selections <<EOF
keyboard-configuration keyboard-configuration/modelcode string pc105
keyboard-configuration keyboard-configuration/layoutcode string gb
EOF
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive -u keyboard-configuration
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive -u console-setup
}
that has been working fine on all releases of Ubuntu up to Quantal with
v1.16.4.3ubuntu1 of dpkg. However the latest 1.6.7 dpkg appears to have stopped
this working:
Fixing console settings^M
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)^M
dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process^M
dpkg: error processing cloud-build (--configure):^M
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2^M
