Package: rsyslog-pgsql Version: 8.2102.0-2 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
The postinst script fails under certain conditions due to the lack of error handling in dbc_postinst_cleanup with a non-zero exit code: Output with `set -x` set: #+BEGIN_SRC + IFS= + printf %s\n RESET rsyslog-pgsql/app-password-confirm + IFS= + read -r _db_internal_line + IFS= + RET=10 rsyslog-pgsql/app-password-confirm doesn't exist + return 10 + true + db_fset rsyslog-pgsql/app-password-confirm seen false + _db_cmd FSET rsyslog-pgsql/app-password-confirm seen false + _db_internal_IFS= + IFS= + printf %s\n FSET rsyslog-pgsql/app-password-confirm seen false + IFS= + read -r _db_internal_line + IFS= + RET=10 rsyslog-pgsql/app-password-confirm doesn't exist + return 10 + true + db_reset rsyslog-pgsql/internal/skip-preseed + _db_cmd RESET rsyslog-pgsql/internal/skip-preseed + _db_internal_IFS= + IFS= + printf %s\n RESET rsyslog-pgsql/internal/skip-preseed + IFS= + read -r _db_internal_line + IFS= + RET=10 rsyslog-pgsql/internal/skip-preseed doesn't exist + return 10 + db_reset rsyslog-pgsql/internal/reconfiguring + _db_cmd RESET rsyslog-pgsql/internal/reconfiguring + _db_internal_IFS= + IFS= + printf %s\n RESET rsyslog-pgsql/internal/reconfiguring + IFS= + read -r _db_internal_line + IFS= + RET=10 rsyslog-pgsql/internal/reconfiguring doesn't exist + return 10 + return 10 dpkg: error processing package rsyslog-pgsql (--configure): installed rsyslog-pgsql package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10 #+END_SRC the last successful running part of the postinst script is the calling of dbc_forget_app_password(), dbc_postinst_cleanup() is where 10 as an exit code is returned and where the script fails. As far as I can tell the error occurs because: * db_reset $dbc_package/internal/reconfiguring returns 10, but the script fails to catch this by either appending || true nor by returning 0 at the end of the function. * I also noticed that on systems where the postinst script is broken debconf does not hold any entries corresponding to the package; which may point into the right direction for a possible fix. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-13-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages rsyslog-pgsql depends on: ii dbconfig-common 2.0.19 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.77 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u3 ii libpq5 13.5-0+deb11u1 ii rsyslog 8.2102.0-2 ii ucf 3.0043 Versions of packages rsyslog-pgsql recommends: ii postgresql-client 13+225 ii postgresql-client-13 [postgresql-client] 13.5-0+deb11u1 Versions of packages rsyslog-pgsql suggests: ii postgresql 13+225 -- debconf information excluded
