Package: oss-compat Version: 0.0.4 Severity: normal Hi,
Trying to install the new mplayer package from Sid into a Sid chroot, I get the following error in oss-compat's postinst: Setting up oss-compat (0.0.4) ... ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat' to `/lib/oss-compat/linux': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing oss-compat (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: oss-compat E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Setting up oss-compat (0.0.4) ... ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat' to `/lib/oss-compat/linux': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing oss-compat (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: oss-compat The oss-compat postinst fails because there is no /etc/modprobe.d directory within the chroot. Maybe ship that directory in the .deb or create it in the postinst before making the symlink? (Or depend upon module-init-tools, which does ship this directory.) Filing as severity "normal" since I suppose chroot issues aren't RC, and a "normal" system would already have module-init-tools installed as a dependency of a 2.6 kernel package. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-3-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages oss-compat depends on: ii modutils 2.4.27.0-6 Linux module utilities oss-compat recommends no packages. -- no debconf information regards, -- Kevin B.
