Re: [yocto] Errors with update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/XXX exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
Hi everybody again,
is there any update on this?
I'm facing the same issue with the 1.5.2 release.
I don't want to add that -f in meta/classes/update-rc.d.bbclass if there is a
better solution. (And I'm quite sure there must be a better one ;-) )
Maybe overriding the postrm function in my own meta-layer with some kind of
bbclassappend?
regards,
Richard

Hi Paul,
thank you for that hint and description of your workaround!
Looks like you've invested a little bit more time into working around this
issue than me
:-)
I've added -f to the update-rc.d.bbclass and now it's working like a charm:

Nonetheless, I think there have to be a cleaner way to solve this issue

Maybe someone else has an idea how to solve this problem?

My workaround was a little less drastic than yours. (grin)
Before upgrading to the new package via 'dpkg -i', I would edit the
postrm script in /var/lib/dpkg/info/pkg-name,postrm, adding the -f
argument to force the symlink removal, as suggested by the error message.
Then the upgrade install works correctly. (With only a warning from
the postrm script of the previous package.)
I believe that the issue is that when installing a package over an
earlier release, dpkg performs the following steps:
1) Extract control files of new package
2) Execute prerm script of previous package if applicable.
3) Execute preinst script of new package.
4) Unpack new files and backup old files.
5) Execute postrm script of previous package if applicable.
6) Configure the package
When installing a newer version of the package, the postrm in step 5
fails, because the initscript from the new package is extracted in step 4,
and update-
rc.d w/o the -f
argument exits with a non-zero return code.
I would argue that the updatercd_postrm() stanza in the
update-rc.d.bbclass should include the -f flag.
(Anyone on the list want to chime in on this?)
In the meantime, I have added my own updatercd_postrm() stanza in
the .bbappend file for the package I'm having issues with, which
overrides the one provided by update-rc.d.bbclass.
updatercd_postrm() {
update-rc.d $D -f ${INITSCRIPT_NAME} remove }

Hi Paul,
good to hear I'm not the only one suffering from this issue...
No, I've received no response on the mailing list yet, but maybe
someone has a hint
for us now?
The only workaround I found is to purge the package and afterwards
install the
new version.
I know this is a really dirty workaround, but it's the only solution I
found.
Have you discovered any other workarounds, Paul?

[yocto] Errors with update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/XXX exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
Hi,
I have problems with the update-rc.d class in my recipes.
When I want to update a package which inherits update-rc.d (in my case samba)
using dpkg -i I get the following error:
root@host:~# dpkg -i /media/USBSTICK/samba-ads_3.5.22-r4_armel.deb
(Reading database ... 11931 files and directories currently installed.)

update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/samba exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
dpkg: error while cleaning up:

Errors were encountered while processing:
/media/USBSTICK/samba-ads_3.5.22-r4_armel.deb
When I afterwards want to remove/purge the package it fails with the following
message:
root@host:~# dpkg -P samba-ads
dpkg: error processing samba-ads (--purge):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:

The only way how to fix that problem is to manually remove the initscript and
then install the update:
root@000C320C08C0:~# rm /etc/init.d/samba
root@000C320C08C0:~# dpkg -i /media/USBSTICK/samba-ads_3.5.22-r4_armel.deb

}
Does anybody have an idea how to fix that issue? Would be really great!
Thank you!

Richard
