--- Begin Message ---Package: sympa Version: 5.3.4-2 Severity: normal Trying to upgrade on a system, I received the following error : dpkg: error processing sympa (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 20 Errors were encountered while processing: sympa Press return to continue. I added some debug in postinst by having set -x, and noticed it fails with : + db_get sympa/language + _db_cmd 'GET sympa/language' + IFS=' ' + printf '%s\n' 'GET sympa/language' + IFS=' ' + read -r _db_internal_line + RET='20 Unsupported command "adding" (full line was "Adding system user: sympa.") received from confmodule.' + case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in + return 20 This looks like the echo command is parsed by debconf... A workaround is to apply the following patch... but that's weird :/ --- /var/lib/dpkg/info/sympa.postinst.orig 2008-03-24 20:07:03.000000000 +0100 +++ /var/lib/dpkg/info/sympa.postinst 2008-03-24 20:07:12.000000000 +0100 @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # creating sympa user if he isn't already there if ! id sympa >/dev/null 2>/dev/null ; then - echo "Adding system user: sympa." + #echo "Adding system user: sympa." adduser --system --group --gecos "Sympa mailing list manager" --no-create-home --home /var/lib/sympa sympa >/dev/null fi Dunno if something changed in the way debconf interaction must be done, or echoing during postinst/configure is now forbidden ?
