the issue is that the preinst scripts for the base system are run in lexical order, with makedev coming before sysv-rc - so while /usr/sbin /update-rc.d has been unpacked on the system, the preinst has not been run and therefore makedev's invocation fails with this error.
The update-rc.d invocation was failing before anyway, it's just that now in precise, the makedev preinst script is set -e where before it was not, so the update-rc.d failure is being caught. So we should fix makedev to not call update-rc.d - certainly not in this case, where it can't possibly be relevant. ** Package changed: sysvinit (Ubuntu Quantal) => makedev (Ubuntu Quantal) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001460 Title: preinst fails in d-i To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eilt/+bug/1001460/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
