Package: trac Version: 0.11.7-4 Severity: normal I upgraded a system from lenny to squeeze. trac got upgraded (15:35) before python was upgraded (15:44).
/var/lib/dpkg/info/trac.postinst contains this section for publishing jquery.js: # create link(s), even if original file does not exist (yet) for d in /usr/share/pyshared/trac/htdocs/js \ /usr/lib/python*/*-packages/trac/htdocs/js; do cd $d ln -sf /usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.min.js jquery.js done but because python was upgraded after trac, /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/htdocs/js didn't exist during the invocation of this postinstall script. As a result, a request for https://trac.example.org/chrome/common/js/jquery.js would cause trac to look for /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/htdocs/js/jquery.js, and fail, returning a 404 Not Found. I worked around the problem by creating the symlink by hand. It can also probably be worked around by doing an "apt-get install --reinstall trac" or anything else that will trigger re-invocation of the postinst script. I'm not sure what the right way to really fix the problem is, but i thought this problem ought to be documented so that other people who run into it can find the workarounds at least. Thanks for packaging trac for debian, and for relying on the system copy of jquery rather than on an embedded code copy.
