Justification: cannot upgrade

Hi,

Typical experimental amd64 system. From today's upgrade:

| Setting up libreoffice-style-galaxy (1:3.4.1-1) ...
| (Reading database ... 174098 files and directories currently installed.)
| Preparing to replace libreoffice-common 1:3.3.3-4 (using .../libreoffice-common_1:3.4.1-1_all.deb) ...
| Unpacking replacement libreoffice-common ...
| Setting up libreoffice-common (1:3.4.1-1) ...
| Updating services.rdb...
| cp: cannot stat `/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/.services.rdb': No such file or directory
| dpkg: error processing libreoffice-common (--install):
| subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Ideas?
Jonathan

Yes. I bet you don't have -core upgraded yet?

That file is only there in -core from 3.4. Probably I either need to make
a strict depends (bad) or don't run the trigger if the file doesn't exist...

Grüße/Regards,

René

Answer on my reply please.

But:

I did a dist-upgrade and a apt-get (-t experimental) install libreoffice. Both times
-core was installed before -commons postinst was run.

So no trigger involved directly...

René

I used cupt; you can reproduce it by using dpkg directly, too.
Besides, after your explanation it's obvious in the code where the
problem is. And the policy is very clear; "apt happens to choose an
upgrade path that doesn't trigger it" does not make a bug go away.

Anyway, I'm happy to take care of writing a fix and checking that it
fixes the problem, so I am not so inclined to attach dpkg logs etc. I
should be able to send a fix soon. I'll be glad to hear feedback on
it then.

Thanks again for your help.

Regards,
Jonathan

Ah. Something extravagant I do not and never will care about.

you can reproduce it by using dpkg directly, too.



True, but using dpkg is not always senseful. I.e. in lenny->squeeze
upgrade where upgrade order by apt etc. might be important.

And/or in complex dependencies.

Besides, after your explanation it's obvious in the code where the
problem is.



True

And the policy is very clear; "apt happens to choose an
upgrade path that doesn't trigger it" does not make a bug go away.



Honestly, I disagree. If dpkg -i *.deb breaks because you install
stuff which is Break:'ing or Conflict:'ing each other and that fails
it's not a bug in the package. It's dpkg not figuring it out, which is
OK. it's apt(itutude)s job.

Anyway, I'm happy to take care of writing a fix and checking that it
fixes the problem, so I am not so inclined to attach dpkg logs etc. I
should be able to send a fix soon. I'll be glad to hear feedback on
it then.



I have the check already there, just that the problem is that when what is
done the trigger never might run when installing -evolution or -binfilter -
effectively breaking them because LibO then doesn't know about them in any way.

That's why I asked you how you upgraded.

Grüße/Regards,

René

Fuck off.



Agh! Honestly I was trying to help (setting "owner" was to make clear
that I am happy to take responsibility for the bug) and don't
understand what I did wrong, so I would like some advice.

Clearly I don't understand how to contribute to Debian in a way that
is appreciated. :(
