Looking at: https://wiki.debian.org/MaintainerScripts The new package, may need to have a preinst stanza which version checks which package version upgrade is happening from and still execute systemctl stop cups.path unit. Upgrades after that one should be fine without a preinst. And preinst should then be dropped after next LTS. Obviously a new package needs to be prepared and we should test it a bit. Shall we start a https://bileto.ubuntu.com/ devirt PPA for this update into zesty and eventual SRUs? -- Regards, Dimitri. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642966 Title: package cups-daemon 2.1.3-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1642966/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
