Bug#425479: Symlinks still aren't fixed
Package: icedove Version: 2.0.0.0-3 Severity: serious The upgrade 1.5 - 2.0 still doesn't convert the directories in /usr/lib/icedove to symlinks correctly. The chrome directory is converted, but defaults and greprefs are not; the symptom is no longer a segfault, but the icedove window comes up empty. In the preinst we have: if test -d /usr/lib/icedove/defaults; then if test ! -d /usr/share/icedove/defaults; then mkdir -p /usr/share/icedove/ cp -r /usr/lib/icedove/defaults /usr/share/icedove/defaults else rm -rf /usr/lib/icedove/defaults fi fi So that doesn't actually remove the old directory if the /usr/share equivalent did not already exist. (This explains why chrome is converted, because 1.5 did contain a /usr/share/chrome directory.) I imagine you want to move the rm out of the else, or change the cp to mv. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.21 Debian Release: lenny/sid 990 unstablewww.debian-multimedia.org 990 unstableftp.ie.debian.org 990 unstableftp.heanet.ie 990 unstableftp-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk 1 experimentalftp.ie.debian.org 1 experimentalftp-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ==-+- fontconfig | 2.4.2-1.2 psmisc | 22.5-1 debianutils (= 1.16) | 2.18.2 libatk1.0-0(= 1.13.2) | 1.18.0-2 libc6 (= 2.5-5) | 2.5-8 libcairo2 (= 1.4.0) | 1.4.6-1 libfontconfig1 (= 2.4.0) | 2.4.2-1.2 libfreetype6 (= 2.2) | 2.2.1-5 libgcc1(= 1:4.2-20070516) | 1:4.2-20070516-1 libglib2.0-0 (= 2.12.9) | 2.12.12-1 libgtk2.0-0(= 2.10.3) | 2.10.12-2 libjpeg62 | 6b-13 libnspr4-0d (= 1.8.0.10) | 4.6.6-3 libnss3-0d (= 1.8.0.10) | 3.11.5-3+b1 libpango1.0-0 (= 1.16.4) | 1.16.4-1 libpng12-0 (= 1.2.13-4) | 1.2.15~beta5-2 libstdc++6 (= 4.2-20070516) | 4.2-20070516-1 libx11-6 | 2:1.1.1-1 libxcursor1 ( 1.1.2) | 1:1.1.8-2 libxext6 | 1:1.0.3-2 libxfixes3(= 1:4.0.1) | 1:4.0.3-2 libxft2 ( 2.1.1) | 2.1.12-2 libxi6 | 2:1.1.0-2 libxinerama1 | 1:1.0.2-1 libxrandr2(= 2:1.2.0) | 2:1.2.1-1 libxrender1| 1:0.9.2-1 libxt6 | 1:1.0.5-3 zlib1g(= 1:1.2.1) | 1:1.2.3-15 -- Martin Orr signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
