--- Begin Message ---Package: debhelper Version: 9.20120608 Severity: serious Hi, the preinst snippet created by dh_installcatalogs does not handle upgrading from a previously removed package, so dpkg shows you the "foo.cat File on system created by you or by a script." prompt. The preinst contains if [ "$1" = "upgrade" ] && ! dpkg-query -S /etc/sgml/jade.cat >/dev/null 2>&1; then which handles regular upgrades, but the preinst will be called <new-preinst> install <old-version> if the package is in "configuration files only" state http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase Setting the severity to serious as this breaks certain upgrade paths. All packages using dh_installcatalogs will need to be rebuilt to get this fixed. I'm attaching an example piuparts upgrade log from jade. [there was a successful apt-get install jade, followed by apt-get remove jade] Selecting previously unselected package jade. (Reading database ... 8092 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking jade (from .../jade_1.2.1-47.1+b1_amd64.deb) ... Processing triggers for sgml-base ... Updating the super catalog... Setting up jade (1.2.1-47.1+b1) ... Configuration file `/etc/sgml/jade.cat' ==> File on system created by you or by a script. ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions Z : start a shell to examine the situation The default action is to keep your current version. *** jade.cat (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing jade (--configure): EOF on stdin at conffile prompt Errors were encountered while processing: jade Andreas
