Ah, indeed. Thanks for the report. I've got this fixed locally, but I'll ponder a bit more about the correct semantics, when combined with --force-not-root. For --no-act/--dry-run I think it's clear they should not be executed though. Thanks, Guillem
Bug#1071124: dpkg: post-invoke hook does not run after failure due to non-superuser (but pre-invoke hook does)
Package: dpkg Version: 1.22.6 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: bferr...@intwineconnect.com Dear Maintainer, When attempting to install a package as a non-superuser, the configured pre-invoke hook runs, but the post-invoke hook does not. I believe that either both hooks should run in this case or neither should. For example: I have configured both a pre-invoke and post-invoke hook in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg. I attempt to install a package as a non-root user with `dpkg -i mypackage.deb`. The command fails, as expected. However, I observe that the pre-invoke hook has run, but the post-invoke hook has not run. I would have expected that if the pre-invoke hook ran, the post-invoke hook should also have run. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.8.7-arch1-1 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.8-5.1 ii libc62.38-10 ii liblzma5 5.6.1+really5.4.5-1 ii libmd0 1.1.0-2 ii libselinux1 3.5-2+b2 ii libzstd1 1.5.5+dfsg2-2 ii tar 1.35+dfsg-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.3.dfsg-3.1 dpkg recommends no packages.
