Package: libccnet0 Version: 6.0.2-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
libccnet0 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 libccnet0 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 system permanently. The solution is to replace the following line in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libccnet0:*.postinst pycompile -p libccnet0 with pycompile -p libccnet0:$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH And the following line in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libccnet0:*.prerm pyclean -p libccnet0 with pyclean -p libccnet0:$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH See also bug #770625 which shows how this same bug was fixed in gir1.2-ibus-1.0. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-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) Versions of packages libccnet0:amd64 depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u3 ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.21-stable-3 it libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libjansson4 2.9-1 ii libsearpc1 3.0.8-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.16.2-5+deb9u1 ii libuuid1 2.29.2-1+deb9u1 ii python 2.7.13-2 ii python-searpc 3.0.8-1 libccnet0:amd64 recommends no packages. libccnet0:amd64 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
