Package: pypy
Version: 2.2.1+dfsg-1
Severity: critical
Tags: upstream
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Tainmainer,
* What led up to the situation?
An attempt to install pypy on my old athlon-xp computer.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Just install it.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The installation failed with an "Illegal instruction" message.
The de-installation also failed with the same msg - that clobbered the entire
system, preventing any update.
Stefano Rivera gave me the solution in a PM: "Edit
/var/lib/dpkg/info/pypy*.prerm and comment out the pypyclean commands. Then you
should be able to remove it." many thanks to him!
* What outcome did you expect instead?
pypy to nicely install and de-install (or even refuse to install, but NOT
blocking my system) without tweaking the prerm script.
