The problem happens because of this code in the preinst: if ! dpkg --compare-versions $(uname -r) ge '2.6.12'; then db_fset lvm2/kernel seen false db_input critical lvm2/kernel || true db_go exit 1 fi
I'm upgrading from Hoary, so my kernel is < 2.6.12, the code runs, and the question doesn't exist, so it fails as Edd reports. This problem is reported at Debian's BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=358373 Their fix is version 2.02.05, which supports older kernels. Being that the upgrade will result in a kernel > 2.6.12 pretty soon afterwards, it really doesn't matter. I had a go at backporting it, but it seems to need a newer version of libdevmapper now, so I've just resigned myself to building a package without the version check. :) -- preinst reports exit status 10 https://launchpad.net/bugs/47972 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
