Errors were encountered while processing:
php5-json
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
php5-common has a dependency upon php5-json
php5-json does not have a dependency upon php5-common
This results in php5-common being removed first, and php5-json's
prerm failing due to php5dismod not being found: it's already
been removed by this point. Note that when dpkg tries to
abort the transaction, the rerun of the postinst *also* fails due
to php5enmod also being removed, so this isn't strictly a
removal bug, it's also a bug for installation as well.
I'm not familiar with the php5 packaging, but it's clear that the
dependencies are incorrect here, and this leads to an inability to
deinstall, hence the serious severity. Suggestions, in decending
order of usefulness:
- can the dependencies be inverted? That is, make php5-json depend
on php5-common?
- can the prerm be made to clean up properly in the absence of
php5dismod? likewise the prerm and php4enmod
- if the dependencies are mutual, should the packages be merged?
Regards,
Roger
