Steve Langasek [2011-09-30 5:37 -]: So glib2.0 needs to clean up its historic mis-migration. Hmm, the preinst files do if [ $1 = upgrade ] dpkg --compare-versions $2 lt-nl 2.27.5-2; then rm -f /usr/share/doc/libglib2.0-dev fi I. e. correctly use lt-nl (thus don't fire on fresh installs), and also shouldn't affect natty upgrades, and don't create any symlinks. Given that this was reproduced using a natty install and oneiric upgrade, I don't see how this would introduce this bug. But maybe I'm missing something here? debian/* doesn't use ln anywhere, and there is just one *.links for gtk-doc. The natty package is identical in all those regards. Right now I'm really stumped how this symlink ever actually got created. It's like black magic :( Thanks for any hint, Martin -- Martin Pitt| http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854622 Title: Could not install libglib2.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/854622/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hi Martin, if no one else is seeing this, and you can't reproduce it, it is entirely possible that I'd added a symlink at some point to test something and failed to remove it. If that looks likely from the current state, then I'm happy to remove whichever symlink is incorrect and update my system again :) Sorry for possibly having wasted your time :/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854622 Title: Could not install libglib2.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/854622/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Steve Langasek [2011-09-30 1:39 -]: This is a classic botched symlink-directory migration in a package. For sure, but neither the natty nor the recent oneiric versions actually shipped any symlinks, and I'm fairly sure we didn't introduce them at any time during oneiric. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854622 Title: Could not install libglib2.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/854622/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
