Figured out some more details: /etc/freeradius/hints is not listed in DEBIAN/conffiles in freeradius-config 3.0.12+dfsg-1 because it’s a symlink (dh_installdeb uses find -type f to find conffiles). IIUC, that’s the reason why dpkg does not realize that a conffile is moving between two packages here.
Now, let’s see how we can fix that… On Mon, Oct 24, 2016 at 10:00 AM, Michael Stapelberg <stapelb...@debian.org> wrote: > I think the issue is that the file(s) in question (e.g. > /etc/freeradius/hints) are marked as conffiles in freeradius > 2.2.8+dfsg-0.1+b3: > > # grep hints /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.* > /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.conffiles:/etc/freeradius/hints > /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.list:/etc/freeradius/hints > /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.postinst: > /etc/freeradius/hints \ > /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.prerm: /etc/freeradius/hints \ > > When updating, the entry vanishes from freeradius.conffiles, but stays in > freeradius.list: > > # dpkg -i freeradius-common_3.0.12+dfsg-1_all.deb > freeradius_3.0.12+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libfreeradius3_3.0.12+dfsg-1_amd64.deb > freeradius-config_3.0.12+dfsg-1_amd64.deb > (Reading database ... 24462 files and directories currently installed.) > Preparing to unpack freeradius-common_3.0.12+dfsg-1_all.deb ... > Unpacking freeradius-common (3.0.12+dfsg-1) over (3.0.12+dfsg-1) ... > Preparing to unpack freeradius_3.0.12+dfsg-1_amd64.deb ... > Unpacking freeradius (3.0.12+dfsg-1) over (2.2.8+dfsg-0.1+b3) ... > dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/etc/freeradius/sites-enabled': > Directory not empty > dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory > '/etc/freeradius/sites-available': > Directory not empty > dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/etc/freeradius/modules': > Directory not empty > dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/etc/freeradius/certs': > Directory not empty > dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/etc/freeradius': Directory > not empty > Preparing to unpack libfreeradius3_3.0.12+dfsg-1_amd64.deb ... > Unpacking libfreeradius3 (3.0.12+dfsg-1) over (3.0.12+dfsg-1) ... > Preparing to unpack freeradius-config_3.0.12+dfsg-1_amd64.deb ... > Unpacking freeradius-config (3.0.12+dfsg-1) ... > dpkg: error processing archive freeradius-config_3.0.12+dfsg-1_amd64.deb > (--install): > trying to overwrite '/etc/freeradius/hints', which is also in package > freeradius 3.0.12+dfsg-1 > Setting up freeradius-common (3.0.12+dfsg-1) ... > dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of freeradius: > freeradius depends on freeradius-config; however: > Package freeradius-config is not installed. > > dpkg: error processing package freeradius (--install): > dependency problems - leaving unconfigured > Setting up libfreeradius3 (3.0.12+dfsg-1) ... > Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.5-1) ... > Processing triggers for systemd (229-1) ... > Errors were encountered while processing: > freeradius-config_3.0.12+dfsg-1_amd64.deb > freeradius > > # grep hints /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.* > /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.list:/etc/freeradius/hints > /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.postinst: > /etc/freeradius/mods-config/preprocess/hints \ > /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.prerm: > /etc/freeradius/mods-config/preprocess/hints > \ > > anbe, do you know how this situation should be properly handled?
