Package: bash Version: 4.0-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
When I tried to install bash 4.0-5 I had the following messages: Preparing to replace bash 4.0-4 (using .../archives/bash_4.0-5_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement bash ... Processing triggers for install-info ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-installation script: No such file or directory dpkg: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Press return to continue. When I tried to downgrade the package in aptitude I received: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $? -ne 10 returned an error code (100) E: Failure running script /usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $? -ne 10 A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Press return to continue. In other words, the failed installation left one unable to spawn a new shell. I was only able to downgrade using dpkg on an already open root shell. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-rc6 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 5.0.0 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 3.2.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.9-26 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages bash recommends: ii bash-completion 1:1.0-3 programmable completion for the ba Versions of packages bash suggests: pn bash-doc <none> (no description available) -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
