Hi! I agree, this: less (551-1) sid; urgency=low * move binaries back to /usr/bin (closes: #500092)
is almost certainly related. If during the upgrade process the new 'less' package is unpacked but not configured yet, there's a window where the pager alternative points to the wrong location. I can't see an easy way to fix this. What the linked Debian bug suggests, that is: make dpkg fallback to more(1) if $PAGER is not available, is probably the right balance between making dpkg solid and not adding an overly complex logic for what basically is a one-off failure. ** Summary changed: - package smartmontools 7.1-1build1 failed to install/upgrade: conffile difference visualizer subprocess returned error exit status 127 + dpkg: conffile difference visualizer subprocess returned error exit status 127 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874953 Title: dpkg: conffile difference visualizer subprocess returned error exit status 127 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1874953/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
