Well, I didn't receive copy of Rafael's message, so answering here:
As you quoted, policy says that local changes must be preserved, which
is adhered in this case, but as you can see, package configure fails
when calling init script:
invoke-rc.d: initscript nginx, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing nginx (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
nginx
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
That time it failed on my definataly broken config, but let's assume
one has apache already installed and listening port 80, which is nginx
should listen by default too. Failing package installation on such
cases has no meaning.
What is more interesting, postinstall script should exit okay even in
case of restart failure:
r...@gamma2:~# head -n 38 /var/lib/dpkg/info/nginx.postinst |tail -n 4
echo "Nginx 'soft' update failed, doing restart"
kill -s KILL $NGX_PID
invoke-rc.d nginx start
exit 0
but line 3 (set -e) may prevent this:
r...@gamma2:~# head -n 3 /var/lib/dpkg/info/nginx.postinst
#!/bin/sh
set -e
So i suggest to change:
- invoke-rc.d nginx start
+ invoke-rc.d nginx start || true
to keep original logic and bring common sense behavior.
