Package: dhcp3-client
Version 3.0.4-6
Severity: grave
When installing dhcp3-client using the Etch installer, by selecting it
as a package to install during the 'select packages to install' step
(pkgsel), the installer locks up. The reason for this is that the
base system includes dhcp-client, and this conflicts with
dhcp3-client, and is thus removed but leave its
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf behind.
This in turn trigger a dpkg conffile question and this question is
never presented to the user and the installer locks up completely. The
question is only listed in the log, and hidden behind the debconf
progress bar showing the progress of tasksel. I'm not sure how to fix
this problem, but believe no conffile question should be triggered
when the sysadmin haven't edited a file yet, and defintely not because
a package left behind a file after it was removed.
I'm setting severity grave as this issue break the installer, as it
locks up at that point and is unable to continue until I kill the
running dpkg process.
To demonstrate this issue, install the base system using debootstrap,
and install dhcp3-client in this chroot.
debootstrap etch dhclient-test http://ftp.skolelinux.no/debian
chroot dhclient-test aptitude -y install dhcp3-client
This will halt with a conffile question. Here is the complete output
from the package installation:
