Martin: I did test with your two additional skeleton scripts in place, and it does not help the problem.
Look at http://women.debian.org/wiki/English/MaintainerScripts for the Upgrading section. Yes after the old prerm fails, it will go into try the prerm for the new one with an argument "failed-upgrade". Unfortunately, there is also still a #DEBHELPER# clause in the prerm that cause it to exit 1 because it still tries to stop the init script. It then proceeds over to postinst with abort-upgrade ( which isn't supported currently ), but that would still lead to a broken package installation. ** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- Upgrading from bluez 4.45-0ubuntu{1,2} to 4.45-0ubuntu3 or later fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399482 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
