--- Begin Message ---Package: dbconfig-common Version: 1.8.13 Severity: normal When there are no configuration files in /etc/dbconfig-common the config maintainer script suffers an error as it does not check the result of a shell expansion. The offending code is lines 199-202 of dpkg/config. The root cause is that the expansion will return the literal string "/etc/dbconfig-common/*.conf" if it could not match any actual configuration files. This string is then passed directly into dbconfig-generate-include which generates an error as shown below: Unpacking db-test-sqlite (from db-test-sqlite_2.0_all.deb) ... Setting up db-test-sqlite (2.0) ... unable to read input file /etc/dbconfig-common/*.conf dpkg: error processing db-test-sqlite (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10 As the script is set -e this causes the installation to fail. The patch below offers one possible solution to the problem, alternatively dbconfig common could run 'shopt -s nullglob' to request bash returns an empty string when the expansion fails. --- dpkg/config (revision 216) +++ dpkg/config (working copy) @@ -197,6 +197,7 @@ # package, and create a list of hosts. _preconf_list=` ( for f in /etc/dbconfig-common/*.conf; do + test -f $f || continue eval \`dbconfig-generate-include --dbserver=_s $f | grep -v '^#'\` [ "$_s" ] && echo $_s done Cheers -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-xen Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dbconfig-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.1 Debian configuration management sy ii pwgen 2.05-1 Automatic Password generation ii ucf 2.0010 Update Configuration File: preserv dbconfig-common recommends no packages. -- debconf information: dbconfig-common/internal/reconfiguring: false dbconfig-common/import-oldsettings: dbconfig-common/dbconfig-upgrade: true dbconfig-common/passwords-do-not-match: dbconfig-common/pgsql/authmethod-admin: ident dbconfig-common/pgsql/revertconf: false dbconfig-common/install-error: abort dbconfig-common/remove-error: abort dbconfig-common/db/dbname: ${pkg} dbconfig-common/pgsql/no-empty-passwords: dbconfig-common/mysql/method: unix socket dbconfig-common/remember-admin-pass: false dbconfig-common/pgsql/admin-user: postgres dbconfig-common/mysql/admin-user: root dbconfig-common/remote/host: dbconfig-common/pgsql/manualconf: dbconfig-common/pgsql/changeconf: false dbconfig-common/remote/newhost: dbconfig-common/dbconfig-install: true dbconfig-common/pgsql/method: unix socket dbconfig-common/pgsql/authmethod-user: ident dbconfig-common/upgrade-error: abort dbconfig-common/database-type: dbconfig-common/dbconfig-remove: true dbconfig-common/db/app-user: dbconfig-common/pgsql/no-user-choose-other-method: dbconfig-common/remote/port: dbconfig-common/upgrade-backup: true dbconfig-common/performing_upgrade: false dbconfig-common/purge: false
