I can reproduce this, but only if removing the directory tree for a package which has both these directories and other files replaced by another package, before installing it. So what I don't know is how the file system ended up missing those directories, do any of you guys have something like localepurge installed by any chance? Because as the logs show the directories are shipped in many other already installed packages (the “tarobject ... found” message). > > Tentative suggested resolution: enhance installation of e2fsprogs for the > > existence of /usr/share/locale/tr/ and /usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/, > > and > > to create them if they do not exist. > > The directories are present in the package however, and dpkg is supposed > to create them if they are missing on the filesystem.

Which causes the following: > D000010: tarobject ti->name='./usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo' > mode=100644 owner=0.0 type=48(-) ti->linkname='' > namenode='/usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo' flags=2 > instead='<none>' > D000100: setupvnamevbs main=`/usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo' > tmp=`/usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo.dpkg-tmp' > new=`/usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo.dpkg-new' > D000100: tarobject nonexistent > D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting > `/usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo.dpkg-new' > D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting > `/usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo.dpkg-tmp' > dpkg: error processing > /var/cache/apt/archives/e2fsprogs_1.41.12-4stable1_i386.deb (--install): > unable to create `/usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo.dpkg-new' > (while processing `./usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo'): No such > file or directory Also this probably should be RC, and a targetted fix released for stable. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
