cvs 1:1.12.13-12ubuntu1 prerm consists of only autogenerated code, thus
subscribing debhelper:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_installdocs
if [ "$1" = remove ] || [ "$1" = upgrade ] && \
which install-docs >/dev/null 2>&1; then
install-docs -r cvs-doc-client
fi
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_installdocs
if [ "$1" = remove ] || [ "$1" = upgrade ] && \
which install-docs >/dev/null 2>&1; then
install-docs -r cvs-doc
fi
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_installinfo
if [ "$1" = remove ] || [ "$1" = upgrade ]; then
install-info --quiet --remove /usr/share/info/cvs.info
fi
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_installinfo
if [ "$1" = remove ] || [ "$1" = upgrade ]; then
install-info --quiet --remove /usr/share/info/cvsclient.info
fi
# End automatically added section
Also, since the bug reporter has install-info installed, both dpkg and texinfo
for both of them have binary packages providing the “install-info” command (one
in /usr/bin, one in /usr/sbin, which is another WTF moment).
I’ve asked the reporter to “sudo rm” the prerm script in question then upgrade
again, to get rid of their primary problem, but some investigating _why_ this
problem happens in the first place would be nice. FWIW, the cvs
2:1.12.13+real-6 source package uses dh_installinfo just the same, but didn’t
get an auto-generated prerm file. My guess is that someone removed
compatibility code too zealously.
** Summary changed:
- package cvs 1:1.12.13-12ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage:
package cvs is already installed and configured
+ package installation fails due to auto-generated prerm install-info call
aborting
