Package: python-pjproject Version: 2.7.2~dfsg-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Maintainer, python-pjproject is marked as Multi-Arch: same but its postinst and preinst scripts call pycompile and pyclean without specifying the package architecture. As a result if python-pjproject is installed for more than one architecture the package name is ambiguous, causing the postinst and prerm scripts fail. This then prevents any package from being installed or removed, thus breaking the packaging system permanently. The solution is to replace the following line in /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-pjproject:*.postinst pycompile -p python-pjproject with pycompile -p python-pjproject:$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH And the following line in /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-pjproject:*.prerm pyclean -p python-pjproject else dpkg -L python-pjproject | grep '\.py$' | while read file with pyclean -p python-pjproject:$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH else dpkg -L python-pjproject:$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH | grep '\.py$' | while read file See also bug #770625 which shows how this same bug was fixed in gir1.2-ibus-1.0. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages python-pjproject:amd64 depends on: ii libc6 2.27-3 ii libpj2 2.7.2~dfsg-1 ii libpjsip2 2.7.2~dfsg-1 ii libpjsua2 2.7.2~dfsg-1 python-pjproject:amd64 recommends no packages. python-pjproject:amd64 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
