Package: wiki.debian.org Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
there seems to be a small mistake in the upgrade.png diagram displayed as part of the wiki page http://wiki.debian.org/MaintainerScripts: * The first line of the diagram states that during package upgrade the sequence 1.2-3->prerm upgrade 1.2-4 -> failed 1.2-4->prerm failed-upgrade 1.2-3 -> failed 1.2-3->postinst abort-upgrade 1.2-4 -> failed leaves the "old" (1.2-3) package in an "Failed-Config" state. * I consider this a typo, which should read "Half-Configured", as it is inconsistent with the first paragraph of section 6.6 "Details of unpack phase of installation or upgrade" of the Debian Policy Manual. See paragraph "1." in http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase where it says: ============================================================================== If a version of the package is already installed, call old-prerm upgrade new-version If the script runs but exits with a non-zero exit status, dpkg will attempt: new-prerm failed-upgrade old-version If this works, the upgrade continues. If this does not work, the error unwind: old-postinst abort-upgrade new-version If this works, then the old-version is "Installed", if not, the old version is in a "Half-Configured" state. ============================================================================== * Unfortunately the dia diagram sources http://www.marga.com.ar/debian/diagrams/upgrade.dia of the upgrade.png are currently not online any more. It would be great if contact with the original author could be established to fix the diagram (and put the sources online). Thanks for maintaining wiki.debian.org!
