Package: base-config Version: 2.70 Severity: important
As the subject. This version's postinst script caused apt-get to halt: # apt-get install base-config [...] Setting up base-config (2.70) ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-config.postinst: line 59: syntax error near unexpected token `db_fset' dpkg: error processing base-config (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 The problem is the escaping of a newline caracter in line 57 of the mentioned file. Once removed, the package installs cleanly. This is my first bug report, and although I am pretty sure I'm doing the right thing, be gentle on me. :) Regards, Anders Breindahl. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.2 Locale: LANG=en_DK, LC_CTYPE=en_DK (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages base-config depends on: ii adduser 3.67 Add and remove users and groups ii apt 0.6.40.1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii bsdutils 1:2.12p-6 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite ii console-data 2002.12.04dbs-49 Keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fall ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-56 Linux console and font utilities ii debconf 1.4.57 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.14.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii gettext-base 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii passwd 1:4.0.3-39 change and administer password and base-config recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
