My reproducer is very much arm's-length, so it's hard to verify directly. However, I came up with a recipe that you can use (replace incus with whatever other "make a fresh system container" arrangement you prefer): $ incus launch images:debian/trixie test-ucf $ incus shell test-ucf # echo 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main' >/etc/apt/sources.list # apt full-upgrade --update # FOO='One line > Another line' apt install postgresql-common ... Setting up postgresql-common (267) ... /usr/bin/ucf: 13: unset: Another line: bad variable name dpkg: error processing package postgresql-common (--configure): installed postgresql-common package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2 Of course if you install ucf separately before postgresql-common then you can fiddle with it in-place. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [[email protected]]
