Package: policycoreutils Version: 2.1.10-1 Followup-For: Bug #660345 I just got the same problem as #662772: Setting up policycoreutils (2.1.10-1) ... update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/policycoreutils exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) dpkg: error processing policycoreutils (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of selinux-policy-default: selinux-policy-default depends on policycoreutils (>= 2.1.0); however: Package policycoreutils is not configured yet. This was upgrading from a pretty-much standard install of squeeze on a netbook (aspire one), so I worry that this will be a common issue in such upgrades.
I see you have had trouble reproducing. My aptitude log has: Aptitude 0.6.1.5: log report Sat, Oct 9 2010 00:14:26 +0100 /var/log/aptitude.1.gz:[UPGRADE] policycoreutils 2.0.82-1 -> 2.0.82-3 /var/log/aptitude.2.gz:[UPGRADE] policycoreutils 2.0.49-8 -> 2.0.82-1 which suggests the old version was installed fine, quite some time ago (this machine has been sat on a shelf for 18 months) I'm sure I never edited the /etc/init.d/policycoreutils file: $ ls -l /etc/init.d/policycoreutils -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2731 Apr 4 2010 /etc/init.d/policycoreutils Is there anything else I should check? -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages policycoreutils depends on: ii libaudit0 1:1.7.18-1.1 ii libc6 2.13-32 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.5.12-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.98-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.3-1 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpcre3 1:8.30-5 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-2 ii libsemanage1 2.1.6-2 ii libsepol1 2.1.4-3 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian3 ii psmisc 22.16-1 ii python 2.7.2-10 ii python-selinux 2.1.9-2 ii python-semanage 2.1.6-2 ii python-sepolgen 1.1.5-3 ii python-support 1.0.14 Versions of packages policycoreutils recommends: iu selinux-policy-default 2:2.20110726-3 Versions of packages policycoreutils suggests: pn selinux-policy-dev <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
