Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.1.0-2 Severity: normal Tags: sid When I try to upgrade from xserver-xfree86 4.1.0-2, I get the following complaint from dpkg:
Preparing to replace xserver-xfree86 4.1.0-2 (using .../xserver-xfree86_4.3.0.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb) ... ln: /etc/X11/X.dpkg-old': File exists dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xfree86_4.3.0.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 debconf: Unknown template field 'escription-pt_br', in stanza #28 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.templates Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xfree86_4.3.0.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) (I'm pretty sure that the 'X.dpkg-old' part isn't the problem, but I've included it for completeness.) I've looked through the file it references, and I can't find a field by that description. The bug might be with dpkg, I guess, but this is the first and only time I've ever seen it (dpkg upgraded lots of other packages fine at the same time). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.24 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages xserver-xfree86 depends on: ii debconf 1.4.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii xserver-common 4.3.0-7 files and utilities common to all ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-3 compression library - runtime -- debconf information excluded
