Package: gs-common
Version: 8.62.dfsg.1-3
Severity: serious
Upgrading gs-common from Etch fails when perl-modules is unconfigured
and out of sync with perl-base:
Preparing to replace gs-common 0.3.11 (using gs-common_8.62.dfsg.1-3_all.deb)

Errors were encountered while processing:
gs-common_8.62.dfsg.1-3_all.deb
As discussed in #495359, the 'old-prerm upgrade' invocation is done
in the dpkg unpacking stage, and non-Essential packages (that aren't
in Pre-Depends) aren't guaranteed to be functional at that time.
See policy 6.6:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase
File::Copy is in perl-modules, which is not Essential:yes.
There's no way to fix the Etch prerm or defoma-app anymore of course,
but adding a prerm script in the Lenny gs-common package that survives
'failed-upgrade' is enough to fix the upgrades.
There are several Etch packages calling defoma-app from 'prerm upgrade',
but gs-common seems to be the only one that hasn't a prerm script in
Lenny for recovering.
Steps to reproduce, starting from a clean Etch install:
apt-get install gs-common
perl -pi -e s/etch/lenny/ /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install tzdata lib6
apt-get -d install perl-base gs-common
dpkg --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-base_5.10.0-13_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/gs-common_8.62.dfsg.1-3_all.deb
or alternatively
apt-get install gs-common
perl -pi -e s/etch/lenny/ /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get -d install perl-modules gs-common
dpkg --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.10.0-11.1_all.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/gs-common_8.62.dfsg.1-3_all.deb
This is happening in real dist-upgrades too, see the original report
in #495359.
