** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * The bug make dpkg fail to remove/upgrade the 20170718-0ubuntu1* versions of the package with the following error when openssh-server is not installed: + ... + Selecting previously unselected package google-compute-engine-oslogin. + Preparing to unpack .../google-compute-engine-oslogin_20171025+dfsg1-0ubuntu1~16.04.0_amd64.deb ... + Deactivating Google Compute Engine OS Login. + cp: cannot stat '/etc/ssh/sshd_config': No such file or directory + ... + dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 + dpkg: trying script from the new package instead ... + dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/google-compute-engine-oslogin_20171025+dfsg1-0ubuntu1~16.04.0_amd64.deb (--unpack): + there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up + ... + + * This problem may interrupt upgrading other packages as well hence fixing it in stable releases as well is justified. + * The fix is adding an always succeeding prerm script which dpkg can fall back to. + + [Test Case] + + 1. Install openssh-server and ensure ssh server is started + 2. Install google-compute-engine-oslogin 20170718-0ubuntu1~16.04.0 + 3. Purge openssh-server + 4. Run apt-get dselect-upgrade to trigger upgrade of google-compute-engine-oslogin + 4.a. Upgrading to an unfixed version will fail with the errors reported in this bug + 4.b. Upgrading to a fixed version succeeds. + + [Regression Potential] + + * The added prerm may let package upgrades succeed which were broken for other reasons but the way around that would be adding code which would check for exactly this breakage and this seems to be overkill. + * It seems to be highly unlikely to cause other regressions. + + [Original Bug Report Text] + It's taking more than normal time period while booting.
