Package: sl-modem-source Version: 2.9.11~20110321-8 Severity: serious Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from 'squeeze'. It installed fine in 'squeeze', then the upgrade to 'wheezy' fails. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Preparing to replace sl-modem-source 2.9.11~20100718-3 (using .../sl-modem-source_2.9.11~20110321-8_all.deb) ... Removing all DKMS Modules Error! There are no instances of module: sl-modem 2.9.11~20100718 located in the DKMS tree. dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 3 dpkg: trying script from the new package instead ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/sl-modem-source_2.9.11~20110321-8_all.deb (--unpack): there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up configured to not write apport reports Selecting previously unselected package sl-modem-dkms. dpkg: considering deconfiguration of sl-modem-source, which would be broken by installation of sl-modem-dkms ... dpkg: yes, will deconfigure sl-modem-source (broken by sl-modem-dkms) Unpacking sl-modem-dkms (from .../sl-modem-dkms_2.9.11~20110321-8_i386.deb) ... De-configuring sl-modem-source ... I'm attaching a patch that adds a dummy prerm script to the transitional package. I haven't yet tested the upgrade path with this applied. This will need to be fixed in unstable and proposed-updates (versioned 2.9.11~20110321-8+deb7u1). If you need help, I can take care doing a NMU and getting the fix into wheezy r1. cheers, Andreas
