Package: udftools
Version: 2.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
The new version of udftools introduces the following unguarded call to udevadm
in the postinst:
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
if which udevadm 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then
udevadm control --reload
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le "2.0-1~"; then
udevadm trigger --action=add --subsystem-match=block
--property-match=ID_CDROM=1
fi
fi
fi
udevadm can exist but be non-functional, such as inside a chroot. Upgrading
udftools currently results in the following (with set -x added to provide
additional debugging output from the postinst)
Setting up udftools (2.0-1) ...
+ [ configure = configure ]
+ which udevadm
+ udevadm control --reload
dpkg: error processing package udftools (--configure):
installed udftools package post-installation script subprocess returned error
exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
udftools
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Changing this to have yet another 'if' is enough to solve the problem:
if udevadm control --reload; then
…
fi
codesearch also indicates that many other packages just add '|| true' to
simply suppress the error
