*** Please type your report below this line ***
Trying to install b43-fwcutter on a system that never had
bcm43xx-fwcutter installed, fails with the following error message:
# LANG= apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[...]
Preconfiguring packages ...
b43-fwcutter failed to preconfigure, with exit status 10
Selecting previously deselected package b43-fwcutter.
(Reading database ... 62042 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking b43-fwcutter (from .../b43-fwcutter_1%3a008-1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up b43-fwcutter (1:008-1) ...
dpkg: error processing b43-fwcutter (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
b43-fwcutter
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The reason for this issue can be found in debian/b43-fwcutter.config:
if [ "$DEBCONF_FRONTEND" != "noninteractive" ] && [ -x /usr/bin/wget ];
then
# try to get the olds bcm3xx question
db_get bcm43xx-fwcutter/cut_firmware
if [ "$RET" != "" ]; then
db_set b43-fwcutter/cut_firmware $RET
else
db_input high b43-fwcutter/cut_firmware || true
fi
db_go || true
fi
db_get fails, if bcm43xx-fwcutter/cut_firmware isn't set, like it isn't if
bcm43xx-fwcutter isn't already installed:
# debconf-get-selections | grep -e bcm43xx -e b43
#
The following change would keep the intention of evaluating
bcm43xx-fwcutter/cut_firmware for b43-fwcutter while fixing the install
failure, but unfortunately it (just as the existing code) renders
"dpkg-reconfigure b43-fwcutter" pretty useless post installing, effectively
it would still depend on the value of bcm43xx-fwcutter/cut_firmware.
if [ "$DEBCONF_FRONTEND" != "noninteractive" ] && [ -x /usr/bin/wget ];
then
# try to get the olds bcm3xx question
if db_get bcm43xx-fwcutter/cut_firmware && [ -n "$RET" ]; then
db_set b43-fwcutter/cut_firmware $RET
else
db_input high b43-fwcutter/cut_firmware || true
fi
db_go || true
fi
Personally I'd suggest just reverting to a simpler debconf design, like the
one used for bcm43-fwcutter, tested patch attached.
