Package: phpmyadmin Version: 4:5.2.2-really+dfsg-1+deb13u1 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, I attempted to update the phpmyadmin package on Debian 13 (trixie). The package was previously installed and working, but during `apt full-upgrade` dpkg failed while running the phpmyadmin maintainer scripts. The pre-removal and post-installation scripts exited with status 10, leaving phpmyadmin in a broken "iF" (half-installed, removal failed) state. From that point onward, dpkg and apt could not complete any operations until the package was manually repaired. I inspected the maintainer scripts under `/var/lib/dpkg/info/` and confirmed that the failure was triggered during dbconfig-common operations inside the postinst script. I temporarily neutralized the phpmyadmin maintainer scripts by replacing prerm, postinst, preinst and postrm with minimal scripts containing only `exit 0`. After doing that, I successfully removed the broken package using `dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq phpmyadmin`, which restored dpkg/apt functionality. Attempting to reinstall phpmyadmin without workarounds resulted in the same postinst failure every time. Neutralizing the maintainer scripts allowed the system to remove the broken phpmyadmin package and restore normal dpkg behavior. However, installing phpmyadmin again still triggers the exact same error (`post-installation script returned error exit status 10`), meaning that the issue persists even after a clean reinstall. I expected phpmyadmin to upgrade or install cleanly using dbconfig-common, without errors in the maintainer scripts and without breaking dpkg. The phpmyadmin package should complete configuration without requiring manual intervention. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.48+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages phpmyadmin depends on: ii dbconfig-common 2.0.25 ii dbconfig-mysql 2.0.25 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.91 ii libapache2-mod-php8.4 [php-json] 8.4.11-1 ii libjs-bootstrap5 5.3.5+dfsg-4 ii libjs-codemirror 5.65.0+~cs5.83.9-3 ii libjs-jquery 3.6.1+dfsg+~3.5.14-1 ii libjs-jquery-mousewheel 1:3.1.13-5 ii libjs-jquery-tablesorter 1:2.31.3+dfsg1-4 ii libjs-jquery-timepicker 1.6.3-6 ii libjs-jquery-ui 1.13.2+dfsg-1 ii libjs-sphinxdoc 8.1.3-5 ii php-cli 2:8.4+96 ii php-common 2:96 ii php-composer-ca-bundle 1.5.6-1 ii php-google-recaptcha 1.3.0-2+deb13u1 ii php-mariadb-mysql-kbs 1.3.0-2 ii php-mbstring 2:8.4+96 ii php-mysql 2:8.4+96 ii php-nikic-fast-route 1.3.0-6 ii php-phpmyadmin-motranslator 5.4.0-1 ii php-phpmyadmin-shapefile 3.0.2-2 ii php-phpmyadmin-sql-parser 5.10.3-2 ii php-psr-http-factory 1.1.0-1 ii php-psr-http-message 1.1-2 ii php-slim-psr7 1.7.0-3 ii php-symfony-config 6.4.21+dfsg-2 ii php-symfony-dependency-injection 6.4.21+dfsg-2 ii php-symfony-expression-language 6.4.21+dfsg-2 ii php-twig 3.20.0-2 ii php-twig-i18n-extension 5.0.0-1.1 ii php-webmozart-assert 1.11.0-4 ii php-xml 2:8.4+96 ii php8.4-cli [php-json] 8.4.11-1 ii php8.4-mbstring [php-mbstring] 8.4.11-1 ii php8.4-xml [php-xml] 8.4.11-1 ii sensible-utils 0.0.25 ii ucf 3.0052 Versions of packages phpmyadmin recommends: ii apache2 [httpd] 2.4.65-2 ii libapache2-mod-php 2:8.4+96 ii libapache2-mod-php8.4 [libapache2-mod-php] 8.4.11-1 ii php-bz2 2:8.4+96 ii php-curl 2:8.4+96 ii php-gd 2:8.4+96 ii php-tcpdf 6.9.1+dfsg-1 ii php-zip 2:8.4+96 ii php8.4-bz2 [php-bz2] 8.4.11-1 ii php8.4-curl [php-curl] 8.4.11-1 ii php8.4-gd [php-gd] 8.4.11-1 ii php8.4-zip [php-zip] 8.4.11-1 Versions of packages phpmyadmin suggests: ii chromium [www-browser] 142.0.7444.175-1~deb13u1 ii firefox-esr [www-browser] 140.5.0esr-1~deb13u1 ii lynx [www-browser] 2.9.2-1 ii mariadb-server [virtual-mysql-server] 1:11.8.3-0+deb13u1 pn php-bacon-qr-code <none> pn php-code-lts-u2f-php-server <none> pn php-gd2 <none> pn php-pragmarx-google2fa-qrcode <none> pn php-recode <none> ii php8.4-opcache [php-opcache] 8.4.11-1 -- debconf information: * phpmyadmin/reconfigure-webserver: apache2, lighttpd
