Package: dpkg Version: 1.17.21 Severity: grave File: /usr/bin/dpkg-maintscript-helper
Hi, dpkg-maintscript-helper fails to find the package files when using dir_to_symlink (and probably vice versa) and upgrading from arch:any to arch:all at the same time. The bug manifests in libcyrus-imap-perl24 upgrade from wheezy to jessie (filled as #769553): > Preparing to unpack .../libcyrus-imap-perl24_2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7_all.deb > ... > dpkg-query: no packages found matching libcyrus-imap-perl24:all > dpkg-query: package 'libcyrus-imap-perl24' is not installed > Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, > and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. > dpkg-query: package 'libcyrus-imap-perl24' is not installed > Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, > and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. > dpkg-query: package 'libcyrus-imap-perl24' is not installed > Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, > and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. > dpkg-query: package 'libcyrus-imap-perl24' is not installed > Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, > and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. > dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: directory > '/usr/share/doc/libcyrus-imap-perl24' contains files not owned by package > libcyrus-imap-perl24:all, cannot switch to symlink > dpkg: error processing archive > /var/cache/apt/archives/libcyrus-imap-perl24_2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7_all.deb > (--unpack): > subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 But I can reproduce this with any transitional package from src:cyrus-imapd-2.4 (anything with -2.4 suffix except cyrus-common-2.4), f.e.: > Preparing to unpack .../cyrus-clients-2.4_2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7_all.deb ... > dpkg-query: no packages found matching cyrus-clients-2.4:all > dpkg-query: package 'cyrus-clients-2.4' is not installed > Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, > and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. > dpkg-query: package 'cyrus-clients-2.4' is not installed > Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, > and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. > dpkg-query: package 'cyrus-clients-2.4' is not installed > Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, > and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. > dpkg-query: package 'cyrus-clients-2.4' is not installed > Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, > and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. > dpkg-query: package 'cyrus-clients-2.4' is not installed > Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, > and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. > dpkg-query: package 'cyrus-clients-2.4' is not installed > Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, > and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. > dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: directory '/usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.4' > contains files not owned by package cyrus-clients-2.4:all, cannot switch to > symlink > dpkg: error processing archive > /var/cache/apt/archives/cyrus-clients-2.4_2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7_all.deb > (--unpack): > subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Cheers, Ondrej -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-7 ii libc6 2.19-12 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii tar 1.27.1-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 dpkg recommends no packages.
