--- Begin Message ---Package: dash Version: 0.5.7-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I am installing a fresh minimal system using multistrap. During the configure phase, setting up dash fails with the following messages: Setting up dash (0.5.7-3) ... No diversion 'diversion of /bin/sh by dash', none removed. This should never be reached The configure phase then fails. My impression is, that the problem is caused by the fact that no diversion exists yet for /bin/sh. This causes 'diverter' in 'check_divert' to be empty, which then causes the failure. The system I am installing is an armel system, with debian distribution testing. After multistrap has unpacked everything, I copy qemu-arm-static to the new directory tree, I mount /proc, /sys and /dev, and I run the following command to configure: DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \ DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN=true \ LC_ALL=C \ LANGUAGE=C \ LANG=C \ chroot "$root" dpkg --configure -a I have added a 'set -x' to the postinst script. The output is attached. Kind regards Rogier. Output of 'dpkg --configure -a', with 'set -x' added to dash postinst script: ------------------------------------------ Setting up dash (0.5.7-3) ... + debconf= + [ -f /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ] + . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule + [ ! ] + PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 + export PERL_DL_NONLAZY + [ ] + exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/dash.postinst configure + debconf= + [ -f /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ] + . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule + [ ! 1 ] + [ -z ] + exec + [ ] + exec + DEBCONF_REDIR=1 + export DEBCONF_REDIR + debconf=yes + [ configure = configure ] + [ -z ] + check_divert ash /bin/sh dash ash + dfile=/bin/sh + ltarget=dash + distrib=/bin/sh.distrib + dpkg-divert --listpackage /bin/sh + diverter= + dpkg-divert --truename /bin/sh + truename=/bin/sh + dpkg-divert --list /bin/sh + div= + check_divert ash /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz dash.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz ash.1.gz + dfile=/usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz + ltarget=dash.1.gz + distrib=/usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz + dpkg-divert --listpackage /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz + diverter= + dpkg-divert --truename /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz + truename=/usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz + dpkg-divert --list /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz + div= + add_shell + type add-shell + add-shell /bin/dash + [ yes ] + db_get dash/sh + _db_cmd GET dash/sh + _db_internal_IFS= + IFS= + printf %s\n GET dash/sh + IFS= + IFS= read -r _db_internal_line + RET=true + return 0 + check_divert true /bin/sh dash + dfile=/bin/sh + ltarget=dash + distrib=/bin/sh.distrib + dpkg-divert --listpackage /bin/sh + diverter= + dpkg-divert --truename /bin/sh + truename=/bin/sh + [ != dash ] + [ = bash ] + dpkg-divert --package dash --remove /bin/sh No diversion 'diversion of /bin/sh by dash', none removed. + echo This should never be reached This should never be reached + exit 1 dpkg: error processing dash (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of bash: bash depends on dash (>= 0.5.5.1-2.2); however: Package dash is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing bash (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: dash bash ------------------------------------------
