Package: python-kmodpy
Version: 0.1.10-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
python-kmodpy is marked as Multi-Arch: same but its postinst and preinst scripts
call pycompile and pyclean without specifying the package architecture. As a
result if python-kmodpy is installed for more than one architecture the package
name is ambiguous, causing the postinst and prerm scripts fail.
This then prevents any package from being installed or removed, thus breaking
the system permanently.
The solution is to replace the following line in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libccnet0:*.postinst
pycompile -p python-kmodpy
with
pycompile -p python-kmodpy:$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH
And the following line in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libccnet0:*.prerm
pyclean -p python-kmodpy
with
pyclean -p python-kmodpy:$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH
Note that this bugs still affects Debian 9.4, the current stable release.
See also bug #770625 which shows how this same bug was fixed in gir1.2-ibus-1.0.
