if you are going to fix your maintainer scripts, please test upgrades before uploading. If the prerm script disappears because it is no longer needed, you might run into errors like Preparing to replace yiyantang 0.7.0-3.1 (using .../yiyantang_0.7.0-4_amd64.deb) ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/yiyantang.prerm: 5: /var/lib/dpkg/info/yiyantang.prerm: install-info: not found dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 127 dpkg: trying script from the new package instead ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/yiyantang_0.7.0-4_amd64.deb (--unpack): there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up The solution is to include an empty dummy prerm script in the new package. So you can test this upgrade path: * start with jessie chroot * install old package * upgrade dpkg to 1.17.x * upgrade your package Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
