Package: fonts-arphic-uming
Version: 0.2.20080216.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #655842

Hi,

after the last update of your package upgrades from wheezy are not
working (they have not been tested before):

  Preparing to replace fonts-arphic-uming 0.2.20080216.2-1 (using 
.../fonts-arphic-uming_0.2.20080216.2-2_all.deb) ...
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-arphic-uming.prerm: 8: 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-arphic-uming.prerm: defoma-font: not found
  dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 
127
  dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
  dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/fonts-arphic-uming_0.2.20080216.2-2_all.deb (--unpack):
   there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up

Even if defoma is no longer used the current package version, you need
to provide a clean upgrade path.
A minimal solution that will allow upgrades (but probably won't clean up
properly) is to ship a no-op prerm script in the package with a comment
like
    # This is an intentionally empty prerm script to allow updates from
    # older package versions that used debconf.
    # This script can be completely removed after the wheezy release.

A full piuparts log is attached.


Andreas
