Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
While looking at a upgrade failure report I noticed that dpkg does not
report trigger failures as real errors via the status-fd or via the
terminal output. Here is a example:
term.log
...
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-27-generic
cpio: ./etc/modprobe.d/arch-aliases: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-27-generic
dpkg: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
....
status:
2010-03-17 01:05:55,527 INFO cache.commit()
2010-03-17 01:43:24,349 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'dmsetup':
'dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
'
This error on the status-fd is a subsequent error that happens because
initramfs-tools is now in half-configured state because the trigger
failed. This is misleading and conceptually it should be the same kind
of error as a normal postinst failure.
** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
