Hi y'all: I had the package "trousers" installed on an old machine where there is no TPM hardware. So the package makes no sense on that machine. I wanted to deinstall.
Funny: Deinstalation wants to stop the tscd daemon. Demon does not run because driver is not installed. Logically invoke-rc.d comes back with an error, saying that daemon is not running. Well, that's what we want, right? But install script stops because of an error - not checking the kind of error. Not realizing that the error counzts as a success because we DO WASNT that the daemon does not run. Deinstallation fails with error instead of going on. Workaround: svae /usr/sbin/invoke-rd.d to invoke-rc.d.org delete all contents of invoke-rc.d and just leave "exit 0". run dpkg -P trousers again. trousers is deinstalled. copy back /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d.org onto /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d All's well that ends well but is this not a bug? Should i file a bug against trousers in Sid? All the best Eike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
