Package: joystick Version: 20051019-7 Severity: important At upgrade, or by running dpkg --configure joystick, I get:
---8<--- Setting up joystick (20051019-7) ... Restoring joystick calibration: no joysticks available failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript joystick, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing joystick (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: joystick --->8--- Fine, lets plug the gamepad to see if it can finish... then it complains differently: ---8<--- Setting up joystick (20051019-7) ... Restoring joystick calibration: no calibration data failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript joystick, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing joystick (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: joystick --->8--- The package is useful with this gamepad, jstest allows checking the buttons and the axis, also I like to have some tools even if I do not have the hardware "just now". Failing completly if no joystick is found is a bit radical outcome, as well as failing if no need of calibration (all axis in gamepad always start at 0 and go to max and min correctly). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30.crossbow1 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages joystick depends on: ii libc6 2.9-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-4+b1 Simple DirectMedia Layer Versions of packages joystick recommends: pn evtest <none> (no description available) pn inputattach <none> (no description available) joystick suggests no packages. -- no debconf information GSR -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
