Package: dash
Version: 0.5.7-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am installing a fresh minimal system using multistrap. During the
configure phase, setting up dash fails with the following messages:
Setting up dash (0.5.7-3) ...
No diversion 'diversion of /bin/sh by dash', none removed.
This should never be reached
The configure phase then fails.
My impression is, that the problem is caused by the fact that no diversion
exists yet for /bin/sh. This causes 'diverter' in 'check_divert' to be
empty, which then causes the failure.
The system I am installing is an armel system, with debian distribution
testing. After multistrap has unpacked everything, I copy qemu-arm-static
to the new directory tree, I mount /proc, /sys and /dev, and I run the
following command to configure:
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN=true \
LC_ALL=C \
LANGUAGE=C \
LANG=C \
chroot "$root" dpkg --configure -a
I have added a 'set -x' to the postinst script. The output is attached.
Kind regards
Rogier.
Output of 'dpkg --configure -a', with 'set -x' added to
dash postinst script:
