Bug#851598: tex-common: fails to upgrade jessie->stretch (recommends enabled) with cadabra installed
Hi Andreas, big thanks for testing! > /etc/texmf/owned by: texlive-math-extra, texlive-base, tex-common Sounds reasonable. > /etc/texmf/hyphen.d/ not owned > > not sure who created /etc/texmf/hyphen.d/ (and which file might have > been in there) > if that's still in active use, some package should ship it as an empty > directory > (and a leftover *owned* empty directory can be blamed to dpkg) AFAIR there was/ a problem with rm_conffile as it makes backups, then dpkg cannot remove the directory, and after the rm_conffile dpkg does not retry removing the directory. I never tracked it down completely, but AFAIR I cleaned up all the stuff in hyphen.d. /etc/texmf should remain as it is also TEXMFSYSCONFIG and files might be put there.

But I noticed an unowned leftover directory: /etc/texmf/owned by: texlive-math-extra, texlive-base, tex-common /etc/texmf/hyphen.d/ not owned not sure who created /etc/texmf/hyphen.d/ (and which file might have been in there) if that's still in active use, some package should ship it as an empty directory (and a leftover *owned* empty directory can be blamed to dpkg) Andreas

Do you have a time frame when it will be ready? If it is reasonable I'll wait with the upload just in case more things pop up.

In this chroot did the failure occur? I don't see amstex in any of the fmtutil files so it should not happen ... wait ... fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf fmtutil: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf The last two are links to the above you send me, but to be sure: * ls -l /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf * the file /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf please. My "high confidence" was wrong ;-) > Or if there is only a subset of these packages, tex-common could "take > over" their conffiles in order to dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile > them (again with appropriate Breaks in place) You mean by replacing the file, and at the same time rm_conffile? Would that work? > PS: if you need some new package to be tested in this upgrade path, I > could inject it in the stretch side of that upgrade test That sounds good, I guess I need to test a new tex-common, but first want to find the reason for the error.

Hi Andreas, thanks for the report, if you have the chroot still available, can you please send me: * all files in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/ * /var/lib/texmf/fmtutil.cnf-DEBIAN * /var/lib/texmf/fmtutil.cnf-TEXLIVEDIST I have a pretty high confidence that the problem comes from: - upgrade removes (but not purges) texlive-math-extra - thus the cfg file in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/ remains - it is included in fmtutil.cnf(-DEBIAN) - but the necessary package (texlive-science) is not installed I think the only way around that is dropping support for old packages that ship formats in /etc/texmf/fmt.d, afais there is none in sid.
