Package: ksh93u+m
Version: 1.0.3-1
Severity: normal
Upgrading today I noticed this warning printed by the package.
update-binfmts: warning: current package is ksh93u+m, but binary format
already installed by ksh
Looking a little closer I find that the package did not transition the
binfmts from the old package name to the new package name at
transition. This still needs to be done.
$ ls -l /var/lib/binfmts | grep ksh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39 Sep 6 2021 ksh
$ cat /var/lib/binfmts/ksh
ksh
magic
0
\x0B\x13\x08
/bin/ksh
The relevant postinst snippet is this which indicates that this is a
known deficiency. I did not see a bug tracking this deficiency and
therefor this report. The registration should be migrated to ksh93u+m.
if command -v update-binfmts >/dev/null && test -r /usr/share/binfmts/ksh;
then
# ignore error, it probably was registered by ksh
update-binfmts --package ksh93u+m --import ksh || true
fi
Thank you for maintaining ksh in Debian.
