Bug #283923 describes a situation where the install of the desktop task
apparently fails : the aptitude runs finishes with a non zero error code,
because of some dpkg errors happening during the install. See the
base-config.log files I posted in #283923.
The desktop task currently fails for the following languages: German,
Italian, Spanish. I had it fails also on Norwegian Nynorsk. I suspect it
fails on some and not on others because of external parameters such as a
different set of installed packages.
Indeed, this seems to be some nasty bug when packages involved in a
circular dependency are installed during different dpkg runs. Again, see
#283923
Please find at the end of this mail an IRC log between Chris Halls and
myself about this problem. He suggests the bug may be related to #172339.
As I'm not sure this bug will be fixed in time for sarge, if we don't wan=
t
the desktop task to be broken for some languages, I suggest removing the
installation of myspell-xx from all languages tasks...:-(
(the task install does not really fails, by the way...all packages seem t=
o
be properly installed....but the user is given the impression that someth=
ing
bad happened...and the log shows something bad indeed)

10:16 <bubulle> hello, can I grab you some minutes?
10:16 <haggai> hi, yes go ahead
10:16 <bubulle> about #283923
10:17 <haggai> yes. Any ideas?
10:17 <bubulle> not really indeed...it seems to happen on some languages
10:17 <bubulle> indeed as I mentioned a few mins ago, it happens while co=
nfiguring myspell-xx packages
10:18 <haggai> the output that you posted did not seem to include any err=
or messages
10:18 <bubulle> I just had it last night for Spanish
10:20 <bubulle> and I just reproduced it for Italian a few mins ago
10:20 <haggai> can you send me the complete install log, instead of the e=
dited version?
10:21 <bubulle> sure
10:23 <bubulle> it will be crowded with ANSI stuff because this is /var/l=
og/base-config.log
10:23 <haggai> ok
10:23 <bubulle> but the output of packages install and configuration is r=
eadable
10:23 <bubulle> sent
10:25 <bubulle> indeed Italian and Spanish are the only ones which have a=
myspell-xx package installed by tasksel
10:26 <bubulle> the myspell-en-gb or myspell-en-us ones are not installed=
, it seems
10:26 <bubulle> I wonder if the bugs should be reassigned to openoffice.o=
rg-dictionaries

13:36 <haggai> ok, back and I've looked at your
13:36 <haggai> log
13:37 <bubulle> so, did you get more ideas?
13:37 <haggai> it isn't a myspell problem becuase a) myspell doesn't depe=
nd on OOo and b) myspell packages are installed by other tasks
13:37 <haggai> french: myspell-fr-gut
13:37 <haggai> german: myspell-de-de
13:37 <haggai> for example
13:38 <haggai> now, are you installing the italian task but no desktop ta=
sk?
13:38 <bubulle> No, I'm installing the desktop task as well
13:38 <bubulle> it is supposed to install the italian, italian-desktop an=
d desktop tasks
13:38 <haggai> oh,ok
13:39 <haggai> so, openoffice.org-bin is pulled by the desktop task
13:39 <bubulle> yeah
13:41 <haggai> I think this is probably bug#172339
13:43 <bubulle> this may be possible...however, be aware that tasksel use=
s aptitude for installing tasks (I think it calls "aptitude install <task=
>"
13:43 <haggai> and..?
13:43 <bubulle> and I don't know....:-)
13:44 <haggai> I see the last comment was from mdz and I happen to be in =
the same building as him
13:44 <haggai> I'll go and talk to him
13:44 <bubulle> good idea, probably
13:45 <bubulle> this is mostly why I bugged you today about this, knowing=
you all are in the same place..:-)

14:29 <bubulle> oops
14:29 <haggai> heh
14:33 <bubulle> I have a 89k gzipped logfile with the problem...do you th=
ink it's worth sending it to #283923?
14:36 <bubulle> This also happens during a dependency cycle : gs>gs-gpl>g=
s-common>gs
14:38 <haggai> I don't think its worth sending the complete log
14:38 <haggai> just the log of that particular apt operation should do
14:38 <bubulle> moreover, it's barely unreadable

14:51 <bubulle> also, I forgot to mention that *no* package is left in an=
unconfigured stage
