Public bug reported: Context: Manual upgrade (via updating sources.list, not do-release-upgrade) of Windows Store version of Ubuntu 20.04 to 20.10 failed.
Expected: wslu declares all required dependencies as mandatory dependencies (Depends:). Actual: wslu's post-installation script requires desktop-file-utils, but wslu declares desktop-file-utils as a recommended dependency (Recommends:). Attempting to install wslu 3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1 without desktop-file-utils installed results in the following error: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Setting up wslu (3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1) ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/wslu.postinst: 13: desktop-file-install: not found dpkg: error processing package wslu (--configure): installed wslu package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-wsl: ubuntu-wsl depends on wslu; however: Package wslu is not configured yet. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.10 Release: 20.10 $ apt-cache policy wslu wslu: Installed: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1 Candidate: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1 Version table: *** 3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1 500 500 https://atl.mirrors.clouvider.net/ubuntu groovy-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 500 500 https://atl.mirrors.clouvider.net/ubuntu groovy/main amd64 Packages ** Affects: wslu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1926771 Title: Hard dependency on desktop-file-utils not declared To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wslu/+bug/1926771/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
