No, because dpkg will fall back to the new prerm (i.e. the one in the package it's upgrading to). This is a very useful get-out clause. It does require libwmf0.2-7 in precise to ship a no-op prerm rather than no prerm at all, which is a little surprising, but otherwise it works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/901741 Title: perl-modules lucid->precise upgrade failure: debsums needs to restrict itself to Essential dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debsums/+bug/901741/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
