Hi. I'm sending my /var/lib/dpkg/info/docbook-xml.postinst
The line that's failing is the one after the initial for loop: update-catalog --add --super /etc/sgml/docbook-xml.cat In my /etc/sgml/catalog I already have a line with /etc/sgml/docbook-xml.cat and it's also in /etc/sgml/catalog.old I'm attaching a tarball of /etc/sgml (before playing with the scripts) But the .prerm script looks like it should have removed the docbook-xml.cat entry. In fact it does if I run it with "upgrade" as an argument In my /var/log/dpkg.log it looks like docbook-xml 4.4-5 was installed, and afterwards and upgrade to 4.5-5 was attempted but it was left half-configured So my only guess is that maybe the prerm script in docbook-xml 4.4-5 did not run update-catalog --quiet --remove --super /etc/sgml/docbook-xml.cat for some reason ? Maybe the bug is in etch, not lenny, but it can be worked around in lenny ? I can't seem to understand anything more, so I'm removing and installing the package to continue the instalation. Hope this helps somehow...
