Verified fixed in both trusty-proposed and utopic-proposed. For each release I verified that I could see the failure, then verified that an upgrade to syslinux-themes-debian in -proposed would fix the issue, and then verified that a fresh install of syslinux-themes-debian from -proposed also fixes the issue.
I discovered that the bug is a little harder to trigger on Utopic because extlinux doesn't supply /etc/default/extlinux any more, so it generally also isn't present if extlinux is removed after upgrade to Utopic. However, although unlikely I think a user could still end up with a file there (eg. if extlinux was removed while the system was still on Trusty and never purged since), so I worked around this in testing with: echo "EXTLINUX_THEME=debian"|sudo tee --append /etc/default/extlinux This reproduced the problem on Utopic and so I was able to verify that the package in utopic-proposed does fix the issue. ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1042511 Title: postrm fails when syslinux-themes-debian is removed after extlinux has been removed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux-themes-debian/+bug/1042511/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
