Note that when dpkg tries to abort the transaction, the rerun of the postinst *also* fails due to php5enmod also being removed, so this isn't strictly a removal bug, it's also a bug for installation as well. I'm not familiar with the php5 packaging, but it's clear that the dependencies are incorrect here, and this leads to an inability to deinstall, hence the serious severity. Suggestions, in decending order of usefulness: - can the dependencies be inverted? That is, make php5-json depend on php5-common? - can the prerm be made to clean up properly in the absence of php5dismod? likewise the prerm and php4enmod - if the dependencies are mutual, should the packages be merged?
