Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.27
The attached package (and source) help demonstrate this issue. Just install the package, and then mount a tmpfs in /tmp called 't'. Then, place this package in that tmpfs and try to install it again. As far as I know this doesn't affect any 'real' packages.
I was unable to reproduce the problem if the umount happened in the preinst, only in the postrm of the package being upgraded.
Ie:
cp testcase_0.1-1_i386.deb /tmp cd /tmp dpkg -i testcase_0.1-1_i386.deb mkdir t mount -t tmpfs none t cp testcase_0.1-1_i386.deb t dpkg -i t/testcase_0.1-1_i386.deb
