Ok, so quickly going through the postrm, preinst and postinst script, assuming a working scenario (the upgrade doesn't get cancelled):
postrm: Nothing happens preinst: disable_udevadm (diverts the OLD udevadm to /sbin/udevadm.upgrade, then puts a shell script to replace udevadm) postinst: remove the "fake" udevadm and remove the diversion Now, I don't see any manual moving of udevadm done in any of these scripts and my understanding of dpkg diversions is that when updating the files in the udevadm package, udevadm.upgrade should have been updated with the new content, then moved back to /sbin/udevadm when the diversion got removed. For some reason this didn't happen ... I'll do some more tests to reproduce tomorrow with a non-critical package, to check if that's a udev-specific issue or something wrong with dpkg-divert (or me understanding it). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745011 Title: "info: unrecognized option '--convert-db'" on upgrade -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
