Package: perdition Version: 2.2-3.1+b1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable X-Debbugs-Cc: s...@s73.work
Dear Maintainer, The error happens only on first install of the perdition, see instructions below on how to reproduce it. First I get an error during # apt install perdition Failed to stop perdition.service: Unit perdition.service not loaded. invoke-rc.d: initscript perdition, action "stop" failed. That happens only if there was no perdition package installed before. If you had perdition package installed and deleted later then error is not happening, since the command "apt purge" does not delete one generated file. So, to reproduce, either take host where perdition was never installed (apt purge alone will not help here!), or # apt purge perdition then delete generated file: # rm /run/systemd/generator.late/perdition.service Now "apt install" will fail. After installation fails, you will also not be able to delete the package: # apt purge perdition ... Failed to stop perdition.service: Unit perdition.service not loaded. invoke-rc.d: initscript perdition, action "stop" failed. dpkg: error processing package perdition (--remove): installed perdition package pre-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 5 dpkg: too many errors, stopping Here fix is easy, just edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/perdition.prerm and replace the line invoke-rc.d perdition stop with invoke-rc.d perdition stop || true Something similar must be done for the preinstall script in order to fix the install error.
