Subject: piuparts: debconf-english false negative

Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:56:44 +0100

Package: piuparts
Version: 0.35
Severity: normal

This failure log looks like a piuparts bug:

  http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/debconf-english_1.5.27.log

It seems that installing debconf-english causes debconf-i18n to be
removed, but piuparts doesn't then realise that it needs to put
debconf-i18n back in order to remove debconf-english later.

Thanks,

Hi,

FWIW: I had a quick look at the new log [1] and can confirm
that this seems to be a false-positive. Indeed the removing
fails, because debconf depends on debconf-i18n | debconf-english
and removing debconf-english will not install debconf-i18n again.

I don't really have a good idea how to fix this.
Would a apt-get -f install after the first tried remove suffice?
Should piuparts be more aware of depends? Should the selection derived
from creating the chroot be restored?

More answers as questions...

Best Regards,
Patrick

Subject: fixed with new custom script: pre remove

thanks

Hi,

I've just added a new custom script to piuparts, pre_remove_ and put it into 
use on piuparts.d.o to install debconf-i18n before removing 
debconf-english :-)

This makes debconf-english the 7th package getting special treatment out of 
30k tested ones.

See svn r829


cheers,
	Holger

 .
   [ Holger Levsen ]
   * The vintage of 2010 release!
   * piuparts-report.py:
      - report packages which failed
        - due to broken maintainer scripts,
        - due to output from cron after removal,
        - due to not enough force being,
        - due to a problem with pre-depends,
        - due to files having been modified after purge,
        - due to files having disappeared after purge and
        - due to problems configuring a database.
      - only report about (un)owned files and directories and symlink issues in
        sid - that's hardcoded as it's not practical to track them anywhere else
        anyway. And at least for broken symlinks this will also stay like this
        for a long time.
      - visual improvements in the output.
      - ignore udebs and binaries from other archs too.
      - graph is generated using all the available data points.
   * piupartslib/packagesdb.py:
     - automatically break circular dependencies when there are only circular
       dependencies left, using a configurable list of circular depdencies in
       piuparts.conf (Closes: #526046)
         The list of circular depends is taken from a script written by Robert
       Lemmen available at http://debian.semistable.com/debgraph.out.html -
       obviously it would be better to merge this into piuparts directly.
         Note that the dependency resovler is still buggy, the state
       waiting-for-dependency-to-be-tested still contains some packages
       with failed depends (due to them being dependent on packages with
       circular depends). This bug has no effect other than that (so the state
       waiting-to-be-tested is calculated correctly). This bug is also no
       regression.
     - get rid of the longtime unused states "fixed" and "fix-not-yet-tested"
       (also in piuparts-master and piuparts-report).
     - forget reservations of untestable packages.
   * piuparts-slave.py:
     - fix crash when going into sleep when idle.
     - add support for only doing upgrade tests (without the basic test in the
       upgrade target distro).
     - honor mirror configuration option also for upgrade-tests.
     - also do upgrade tests if the version of a package being tested (the one
       in the upgraded distro) is not available in the distro being upgraded
       from. (This is a very short test, but a successfully one.)
     - make configuration setting "distro" to not default to any distro.
   * piuparts.py:
     - new option: --log-level to specify the verbosity of piuparts
       output. Thanks to Fabrice Coutadeur for the patch! (Closes: #567190)
     - new option: --warn-on-leftovers-after-purge to not fail if a package
       leaves files behind after purge. (Closes: #566599)
     - add to self.ignored_files:
       - /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/.delete-me-later
       - /var/log/alternatives.log (Closes: #591966)
       - /var/log/apt/history.log (Closes: #594964)
       - /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/fonts.alias (Closes: #576321)
     - add to self.ignored_patterns:
       - /etc/init.d/.depend.*
       - /var/mail(/.*)? - this used to be just /var/mail/.*
       - /var/lib//update-rc.d(/.*)? (Closes: #605127)
     - create temporary DEBIAN directory for the piuparts-depends-dummy package
       with 0755 perms regardless of the umask of the calling shell.
       (Closes: #573904)
     - fix --do-not-verify-signatures option (Closes: #574936) - thanks to
       Cleto Martin Angelina for the patch.
     - make Chroot.diff_meta_data() special case and ignore files matching
       (/etc/rc.\.d/)[SK][0-9]{2}(.*)$ so that piuparts doesn't complain about
       initscripts renamed by insserv. Thanks to by Andreas Beckmann for the
       patch! (Closes: #586793)
     - remove logrotate and depended packages after the test. (Closes: #602409)
       This is a fix for the incomplete patch for #566597. Again, this is a
       hardcoded list. :-(
     - new custom script: pre_remove_ (Closes: #539146)
     - set environment variable PIUPARTS_OBJECTS in custom scripts to a space
       separated list of packages / changes files being tested.
     - do not call apt-get with --no-remove when installing packages.
       (Closes: #603453)
     - apply patch by Andres Mejia to fix parsing of the --force-confdef option
       and also to configure apt to use that option. Thanks, Andres.
       (Closes: #605475)
     - don't panic if package is not known by apt-get, this probably just means
       a package not yet in the archive is being tested. (Closes: #566672)
       Thanks to Cleto Martin Angelina for the patch!
     - fix parsing of the options --end-meta and --save-end-meta.
     - supply help texts for --end-meta and --save-end-meta options, also add
       comments to install_and_upgrade_between_distros() to make the code
       easier to understand and hopefully improve in future. (Closes: #560050).
     - add logging to install_and_upgrade_between_distros() to point people to
       read the functions source code if they wonder why the log (for distro
       upgrade tests) looks like it looks.
   * piuparts.1.txt:
     - update the pointer to custom-scripts.txt to point to README.txt, as
       those two files have been merged. Thanks to Gregor Hermann for
       spotting this. (Closes: #574504)
     - indicate that it's possible to check several packages or .changes files
       at once.
     - update several options descritpions.
   * README.txt
     - better documentation of custom scripts.
     - reformat to achieve consistent width.
   * Add ${misc:Depends} to Depends in debian/control.
   * Remove versioned dependencies on debootstrap as the version available
     in Etch is sufficient. Drop build-depends on dpkg-dev as it's in
     build-essential.
   * Build-depend on debhelper>=7 and use dh_prep instead of dh_clean -k, bump
     compat level to 7.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1, no changes necessary.
   * Remove Ian Jackson from uploaders - thanks for your work, Ian!
   * Makefile: support python 2.5 and 2.6 instead of 2.4 and 2.5, adjust
     debian/control accordingly.
   * debian/preinst: update code snipplet rm_conffile() from
     http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling
 .
   [ Evgeni Golov ]
   * piuparts.py:
     - Check for remaining logrotate files which produce output after the
       package was removed. (Closes: #566597)
 .
   [ John Wright ]
   * Use debian module when available, else debian_bundle module.
     (Closes: #586443)
   * Use built-in set type, available since python-2.4.
