Package: libc6 Version: 2.10.1-6 Severity: grave Tags: patch The libc6 postinst calls invoke-rc.d with the argument "-query" which, given the code around it was probably intended to be "--query". However, that will cause the postinst to abort since -e is in effect on the shell.
The following patch fixes it so that it does what I think was intended: --- /tmp/libc6.postinst 2009-11-09 21:41:12.703428816 +0100 +++ /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst 2009-11-09 21:33:48.467429571 +0100 @@ -163,12 +163,14 @@ if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then # Should be "if invoke-rc.d ${service} status; then", but # it is not yet supported by all scripts - invoke-rc.d -query ${service} start ; status=$? + set +e + invoke-rc.d --query ${service} start ; status=$? if [ "$status" = "104" ] ; then services="$service $services" else echo "WARNING: init script for $service not found." fi + set -e else if [ -f /usr/share/file-rc/rc ] || [ -f /usr/lib/file-rc/rc ] && [ -f /etc/runlevel.conf ]; then idl=$(filerc $rl $service) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
