it is even more worse. After removing the package it breaks dpkg to install/upgrade/uninstall any packages. As a workaround you have to manually disable/remove the old config file /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/needrestart. I've improved the upstream config template to handle this issue gracefully: https://github.com/liske/needrestart/commit/327830f4bf2f573704d5135e8beb1204a3543126 HTH, Thomas >>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): > > 0m22.3s DEBUG: Starting command: ['chroot', '/tmp/piupartss/tmpwc6DQn', > 'apt-get', '-y', 'install', 'needrestart=0.4-1'] > 0m22.8s DUMP: > Reading package lists... > Building dependency tree... > Reading state information... > The following NEW packages will be installed: > needrestart > debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed > 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. > Need to get 0 B/10.9 kB of archives. > After this operation, 124 kB of additional disk space will be used. > /bin/bash: /usr/lib/needrestart/dpkg-status: No such file or directory > Selecting previously unselected package needrestart. > (Reading database ... 8301 files and directories currently installed.) > Preparing to unpack .../needrestart_0.4-1_all.deb ... > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly > 0m22.8s ERROR: Command failed (status=100): ['chroot', > '/tmp/piupartss/tmpwc6DQn', 'apt-get', '-y', 'install', 'needrestart=0.4-1'] > > > cheers, > > Andreas > -- :: WWW: http://fiasko-nw.net/~thomas/ :: ::: Jabber: xmpp:tho...@jabber.fiasko-nw.net ::: :: flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/laugufe/ :: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
