tags 363115 + pending thanks I see this problem in debian/unstable as well. After adding 'set -x' to the top of in /var/lib/dpkg/info/php4-mapscript.postinst, I get this output when configuring the package:
+ phpver=php4 + for SAPI in apache apache2 + '[' -f /etc/php4/apache/php.ini ']' + db_get php4/extension_mapscript_apache + _db_cmd 'GET php4/extension_mapscript_apache' + echo 'GET php4/extension_mapscript_apache' + IFS=' ' + read -r _db_internal_line + RET='10 php4/extension_mapscript_apache doesn'\''t exist' + case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in + return 10 dpkg: Feil ved behandling av php4-mapscript (--configure): underprosessen post-installation script returnerte feilstatus 10 Det oppsto feil ved behandling av: php4-mapscript E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A quick look in the templates included in php4-mapscript itself show that this template is not included in the package: % grep Template: /var/lib/dpkg/info/php4-mapscript.templates Template: php4-mapscript/add_extension Template: php4-mapscript/remove_extension % Checking the /var/lib/dpkg/info/php4-mapscript.config more closely, I notice that there is code to add an alias from template php4/add_extension to php4/extension_mapscript_$SAPI, but only if /etc/php4/$SAPI/php.ini is found when the configure script is executed. The same test is done in the postinst script to decide what template to use. I suspect the problem here is that the config script is executed before /etc/php4/$SAPI/php.ini is available (before php4-common is unpacked?), and the postinst script is executed after, and thus the template is unknown when postinst executes this. Adding 'set -x' to the config script seem to confirm this. It is not executed again when I try to use 'apt-get install -f' to clean up the mess. Removing apt-utils (to make sure config scripts are executed together with the postinst script) shows this error: + db_register php4/add_extension php4/extension_mapscript_apache + _db_cmd 'REGISTER php4/add_extension' php4/extension_mapscript_apache + echo 'REGISTER php4/add_extension' php4/extension_mapscript_apache + IFS=' ' + read -r _db_internal_line + RET='10 No such template, "php4/add_extension"' + case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in + return 10 There seem to be a typo in the config script. The template is called php4-mapscripts/add_extension. When trying to remove php4-mapscripts, I run into similar problems with the prerm script. It too is looking for the wrong template. So the fix for this bug seem to be at least to update the config and prerm scripts to use the correct templates. I'm fixing in CVS. I'm ignoring the possibility of having /etc/php4/$SAPI/php.ini inserted after the config script but before the postinst, as I am not quite sure how to solve that, and I hope the template naming issue is enough to solve this problem.
