Yes, and I believe it's wrong there also (unless their previous squid3 package, unlike ours, didn't stop itself in the prerm?) > update-rc.d squid defaults 30 >/dev/null OK, someone's living in 2005... The '30' sequence number is obsolete, and also why is this not being driven by debhelper? > However, this failed in our dist-upgrade from trusty scenario as the squid3 > service file no longer > exists.

No. I said that in an upgrade from trusty, there *was no* /etc/init.d/squid3 init script, only an /etc/init/squid3.conf upstart job. And your maintainer script is removing /etc/init/squid3.conf on upgrade; which is why the Debian logic fails. > In the dist-upgrade from trusty case; I believe we can just use the squid > restart. Yes. > In the upgrade from wily case, it's not clear to me why the > /etc/init.d/squid3 service > file would still be on disk when it wasn't when upgrading from trusty? Because the wily version of the package *has* an /etc/init.d/squid3 file, whereas the trusty package does not. And nothing in the xenial package is handling the removal of this stale conffile. So: - fix the maintainer script to remove /etc/init.d/squid3 on upgrade - drop all the versioned upgrade logic and just call invoke-rc.d squid restart. BTW, note that dpkg-maintscript-helper has to be called from several different maintainer scripts with the same arguments, not just from the preinst - the squid package already has several bugs because it's not doing this correctly. This is a royal pain to get right by hand, and all right-thinking maintainers would use debian/squid.maintscript as documented in dh_installdeb, instead of hand-editing maintainer scripts and trying to keep them all in sync. This *probably* will DTRT in the package, despite the fact that squid3 is using the one-step-removed-from-obsolete debhelper compat level 5. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
