well, reassigning 3 years old bugs isn't really helping anyone… especially if there are no details. Even worse if you pull a "I had a complete unrelated issue I haven't reported a couple days ago, so that years old issue here must be a bug in apt". After all, in your reasoning, if it would be a general bug in apt, wouldn't apt be chest deep in such bugreports? We are chest deep in all sorts of bugreports for sure, but that can at least be partially attributed to being considered a good dumping ground for bugs package maintainers don't want to work on themselves. A strong hint for that is apologizing in advanced btw… :(
Failing postinst are usually bugs in the package itself as it is using things which aren't (fully) installed it isn't allowed to use by policy, but does anyway. A huge pointer in that direction tends to be that just re-running apt/dpkg solves the issue. That doesn't need to generate a huge load of bugreports as there is a good chance that the maintainer is lucky enough to get the mistake hidden in 99% of all cases anyhow. Classic example is using python. In your case, back in that version the package didn't seem to have a manual postinst script (something which you could have checked…), just an autogenerated by debhelper calling ldconfig (essential in libc-bin). That failing indicates more hardware issues. No opportunity for an apt bug here in any case. Anyhow, I see nothing actionable in this report for us, so closing as incomplete… ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1216426 Title: package libisofs6 1.2.4-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: el subproceso instalado el script post-installation devolvió el código de salida de error 2 Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When i was updating my system from 12.04 to 12.10 this happened.
