Package: wvdial Version: 1.56-1 Severity: important
wvdial silently fails the configuration step of package installation on my etch system. The current version of wvdial is identical in both etch and sid. wvdial generates no error messages, it simply exits with failure. Here is the output if I put "set -x" at the begining of /var/lib/dpkg/info/wvdial.config -- BEGIN OUTPUT of dpkg --configure --pending -- Setting up wvdial (1.56-1) ... + . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ++ '[' '!' 1 ']' ++ '[' -z '' ']' ++ exec ++ '[' '' ']' ++ exec ++ DEBCONF_REDIR=1 ++ export DEBCONF_REDIR + db_capb backup + _db_cmd 'CAPB backup' + echo 'CAPB backup' + IFS=' ' + read -r _db_internal_line + RET='multiselect escape backup' + case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in + return 0 + '[' -e /etc/wvdial.conf ']' + type uni + export UNICONF=ini:/etc/wvdial.conf + UNICONF=ini:/etc/wvdial.conf + STATE=1 + LASTSTATE=5 + '[' 1 '!=' 0 ']' + '[' 1 -le 5 ']' + case "$STATE" in + db_input low wvdial/wvdialconf + _db_cmd 'INPUT low' wvdial/wvdialconf + echo 'INPUT low' wvdial/wvdialconf + IFS=' ' + read -r _db_internal_line + RET='30 question skipped' + case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in + return 30 + true + db_go + _db_cmd 'GO ' + echo 'GO ' + IFS=' ' + read -r _db_internal_line + RET=ok + case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in + return 0 + STATE=2 + '[' 2 '!=' 0 ']' + '[' 2 -le 5 ']' + case "$STATE" in + db_get wvdial/wvdialconf + _db_cmd 'GET wvdial/wvdialconf' + echo 'GET wvdial/wvdialconf' + IFS=' ' + read -r _db_internal_line + RET=true + case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in + return 0 + '[' true = true ']' + update_db 'Dialer Defaults/Phone' wvdial/phone ++ uni get 'Dialer Defaults/Phone' + RET= dpkg: error processing wvdial (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: wvdial -- END OUTPUT -- Here are the contents of my wvdial.conf file with personal data purged: -- BEGIN wvdial.conf -- [Dialer cellphone] Modem = /dev/cellphone Phone = #777 Init1 = ATZ Modem Type = Digital Modem Stupid Mode = on SetVolume = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Flow Control = Hardware (CRTSCTS) Baud = 115200 Init2 = AT$QCMDR=3 Username = XXXXXXX Password = XXXXXXX Dial Attempts = 0 [Dialer slow] Init2 = at$qcmdr=2;at$qcqnc=1 Username = qnc Password = qnc [Dialer card] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Phone = #777 Init1 = AT Init2 = ATE0V1&F&D2&C1&C2S0=0 Init3 = ATE0V1 Init4 = ATS7=60 Modem Type = Digital Modem Stupid Mode = on SetVolume = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Flow Control = Hardware (CRTSCTS) Baud = 115200 Username = XXXXXXXXX Password = XXXXXXXXX Dial Attempts = 0 Carrier Check = no -- END wvdial.conf -- -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-2006021502 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages wvdial depends on: ii debconf 1.4.72 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libuniconf4.2 4.2.2-2 C++ network libraries for rapid ap ii libwvstreams4.2-base 4.2.2-2 C++ network libraries for rapid ap ii libwvstreams4.2-extras 4.2.2-2 C++ network libraries for rapid ap ii libxplc0.3.13 0.3.13-1 Light weight component system ii ppp 2.4.4b1-1 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daem wvdial recommends no packages. -- debconf information: wvdial/wvdialconf: true wvdial/phone: wvdial/passphrases_mismatch: wvdial/login: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
