Package: bacula-director-pgsql
Version: 1.38.11-2
Severity: serious
(Also in -1, and no doubt many previous versions)
The postrm script always uses dbconfig-common. Even if the first
parameter is 'purge' (policy says you may only use Essential: yes
packages in that case). Similarly, you can't use it in the abort-*
targets either (though I don't see anywhere policy explitly says so).
Try the following to see why (in a chroot, I'd hope):
# dpkg --purge dbconfig-common
# dpkg -i bacula-director-pgsql*deb
# dpkg -i bacula-director-pgsql*deb
# dpkg --remove bacula-director-pgsql
dpkg will inform you that bacula-director-pgsql is in a very bad state
(what it calls half-installed) and to install it again in order remove
it. Which of course you can't do, because the prerm fails out. Twice.
And then again when dpkg tries to do an error unwind. Leaving the
package half-installed.
(To fix the chroot, install dbconfig common --- using dpkg, apt-get
won't work anymore --- then install bacula-director-pgsql, then you can
remove both. You probably already knew this, of course.)
