** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Leads to autoremove failing on distribution upgrade. If this happens + then users get told that "A fatal error occurred" during distribution + upgrade. Ultimately it's not so bad because it's at the final autoremove + step and this can just be repeated, but it is still bad that this bug + causes the distribution upgrade to fail if this package is present. + + [Development Fix] + + Test for extlinux-update explicitly before attempting to run it. No + update to extlinux is needed if it is no longer installed anyway. + + [Stable Fix] + + Same as development fix. + + [Test Case] + + apt-get install extlinux syslinux-themes-debian + dpkg -r extlinux + dpkg -r syslinux-themes-debian + + Expected result: success + + Actual result: failure on the final command: + + Removing syslinux-themes-debian (12-3) ... + /var/lib/dpkg/info/syslinux-themes-debian.postrm: 15: /var/lib/dpkg/info/syslinux-themes-debian.postrm: extlinux-update: not found + dpkg: error processing package syslinux-themes-debian (--remove): + subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 127 + Errors were encountered while processing: + syslinux-themes-debian + + [Regression Potential] + + I change the postrm maintainer script in this fix. The bug caused it to + possibly fail before. The worst that can happen is that the postrm will + fail in some other way. + + [Original Description] + I'dont know. I was trying to create a bootable usb with a Ubuntu 12.04 64's iso.
