** Summary changed: - [Jaunty, Karmic SRU] openafs-modules-dkms' postinst fails repeatedly when modules missing + [Jaunty, Karmic SRU] openafs-modules-dkms' postinst fails repeatedly when headers missing
** Description changed: Binary package hint: openafs-modules-dkms IMPACT: If openafs-modules-dkms is installed but the necessary kernel headers to build kernel modules are not, openafs-modules-dkms' postinst - will continually fail to complete. I believe this can sometimes also - trigger more broadly on any upgrade of the openafs package that doesn't - change the upstream version number (i.e. all versions of 1.4.9) + will continually fail to complete. DEVELOPMENT: This bug was fixed in Lucid by syncing in 1.4.11+dfsg-5; for the Jaunty and Karmic SRU, we simply backport the fix synced in from Debian. PATCH: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35845647/openafs_1.4.9.dfsg1-0%2Bubuntu3.2.debdiff for Jaunty; http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35845649/openafs_1.4.11%2Bdfsg-1%2Bubuntu0.2.debdiff for Karmic INSTRUCTIONS: Uninstall linux-headers-`uname -r`, then install openafs- modules-dkms. Observe that openafs-modules-dkms' postinst fails. Observe also that running "dpkg --configure -a" repeatedly does not resolve the problem. REGRESSION: Unlikely. The only changes being made here are to maintainer scripts, and it's backporting a patch from Debian. The likelihood of bizarre toolchain bugs also seems fairly low, given that openafs has had relatively recent SRUs for both Jaunty and Karmic. ============================== original bug report: continuing problem ProblemType: Package Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 ErrorMessage: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3 NonfreeKernelModules: openafs Package: openafs-modules-dkms 1.4.9.dfsg1-0+ubuntu3 SourcePackage: openafs Title: package openafs-modules-dkms 1.4.9.dfsg1-0+ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3 Uname: Linux 2.6.28-12-netbook i686 ** Description changed: Binary package hint: openafs-modules-dkms IMPACT: If openafs-modules-dkms is installed but the necessary kernel headers to build kernel modules are not, openafs-modules-dkms' postinst will continually fail to complete.
