** Description changed: - i was installing stuff from the software center + [Impact] + GNOME Software doesn't provide debconf support when using aptd. This means any package installation / upgrade that triggers a debconf prompt can fail. The requested package might not do a prompt, but some dependency can. - ProblemType: Package - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 - Package: shim-signed 1.27~16.10.1+0.9+1474479173.6c180c6-1ubuntu1 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-45.48-generic 4.8.17 - Uname: Linux 4.8.0-45-generic x86_64 - ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8.2 - Architecture: amd64 - Date: Mon Apr 3 18:51:34 2017 - DuplicateSignature: - package:shim-signed:1.27~16.10.1+0.9+1474479173.6c180c6-1ubuntu1 - Processing triggers for shim-signed (1.27~16.10.1+0.9+1474479173.6c180c6-1ubuntu1) ... - Running in non-interactive mode, doing nothing. - dpkg: error processing package shim-signed (--configure): - subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 - ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 - InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-04-03 (0 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Release amd64 (20161012.2) - RelatedPackageVersions: - dpkg 1.18.10ubuntu1 - apt 1.3.4 - SourcePackage: shim-signed - Title: package shim-signed 1.27~16.10.1+0.9+1474479173.6c180c6-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 - UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + [Test Case] + 1. Install a .deb file that causes a debconf prompt (https://launchpad.net/~vorlon/+archive/ubuntu/debconf-tests contains a test package). + $ gnome-software --local-filename=noisy-fake-driver_0.6_amd64.deb + + Expected result: + Package is installed after a debconf prompt is shown. + + Observed result: + Package fails to install, no prompt is shown. + + [Regression Potential] + The solution was to provide a pipe when using aptd to allow the debconf prompt to be handled in the session. This could introduce new bugs and/or security issues.
