In this case the packaging has not specified a package name (with the required arch-qualifier) to the dpkg-maintscript-helper call, so it cannot infer that you are doing an arch switch. Please read the man page for the command for more details. > 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 […] > 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 […] ,--- $ grep . debian/*.maintscript debian/cyrus-admin-2.4.maintscript:dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/cyrus-admin-2.4 /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7~ debian/cyrus-admin.maintscript:symlink_to_dir /usr/share/doc/cyrus-admin /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-3~ debian/cyrus-caldav-2.4.maintscript:dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/cyrus-caldav-2.4 /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7~ debian/cyrus-clients-2.4.maintscript:dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.4 /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7~ debian/cyrus-clients.maintscript:symlink_to_dir /usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-3~ debian/cyrus-common.maintscript:mv_conffile /etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/cyrus-common-2_4 /etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/cyrus-common 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-3~ debian/cyrus-dev-2.4.maintscript:dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/cyrus-dev-2.4 /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7~ debian/cyrus-doc-2.4.maintscript:dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/cyrus-doc-2.4 /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7~ debian/cyrus-imapd-2.4.maintscript:dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/cyrus-imapd-2.4 /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7~ debian/cyrus-murder-2.4.maintscript:dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/cyrus-murder-2.4 /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7~ debian/cyrus-nntpd-2.4.maintscript:dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/cyrus-nntpd-2.4 /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7~ debian/cyrus-pop3d-2.4.maintscript:dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/cyrus-pop3d-2.4 /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7~ debian/cyrus-replication-2.4.maintscript:dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/cyrus-replication-2.4 /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7~ debian/libcyrus-imap-perl.maintscript:symlink_to_dir /usr/share/doc/libcyrus-imap-perl /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-3~ debian/libcyrus-imap-perl24.maintscript:dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/libcyrus-imap-perl24 /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-7~ `--- What I've not checked is if debhelper can pass different arguments depending on the maintainer script invoked, which _might_ be required here, but I've not thought about it. Because then you'd probably need to call dpkg-maintscript-helper manually. In any case, definitely a bug in the packaging, and as such reassigning.
