You have been subscribed to a public bug: I tried to upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS using "do-release- upgrade". The system had previously (a few minutes previously) been upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS. As far as I can tell, the first upgrade was successful, but the second failed when trying to configure apache2:
disable obsolete module dav_fs Module dav_fs disabled. disable obsolete module dav ERROR: The following modules depend on dav and need to be disabled first: dav_svn dpkg: error processing package apache2 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 No apport report written because MaxReports has already been reached … Please report this bug in a browser at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+filebug and attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ to the bug report. installArchives() failed I think this is caused by the fact that I have absolute symlinks in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled: root@sigurd:/home/bjh21# ls -o /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 36 Nov 12 2012 /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav.load -> /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav.load lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 30 Nov 12 2012 /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf -> ../mods-available/dav_svn.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 40 Nov 12 2012 /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.load -> /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.load The code that detects obsolete modules in apache2.postinst looks like it will (accidentally) not work with absolute symlinks: refresh_modules() { if we_are_upgrading_from_wheezy $@ && [ -d /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ ] ; then shopt -s nullglob for link in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load ; do target=$(readlink "$link") || true if [ -z "$target" ] ; then continue fi module=$(basename "$link" | sed 's/\.load//') || true if [ ! -e "/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/$target" ] ; then echo "disable obsolete module $module" a2dismod -m -q "$module" etc. Concatenating the symlink contents with the directory name only works for relative symlinks. A simpler approach would be simply to check the link for existence, which will treat broken links as non-existent: if [ ! -e "${link}" ]; then ** Affects: apache2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- dist-upgrade failed: apache2 postinst failed on absolute symlinks in mods-enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1428288 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in Ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
