Based on
strace -f -o log -e execve dpkg-reconfigure dash
it seems like dpkg-reconfigure calls
prerm upgrade <version>
config reconfigure <version>
postinst configure <version>
dash.prerm doesn't do anything on upgrade.
dash.config puts up the deconf prompt.
The relevant part of dash.postinst looks like:
diverter=$(dpkg-divert --listpackage $dfile)
truename=$(dpkg-divert --truename $dfile)
case "$1" in
true)
if [ "$diverter" != dash ]; then
# Let dpkg-divert error out; we are not taking
# over the diversion, unless we added it
# ourselves on behalf of bash.
if [ "$diverter" = bash ]; then
dpkg-divert --package bash --remove $dfile
else
dpkg-divert --package dash --remove $dfile
# Make sure we die:
echo "This should never be reached"
exit 1
fi
which would be trying to remove a diversion by bash in your case,
I'd think.
Could you try that strace command and see how dpkg-divert is called?
Mystified,
Jonathan
