Package: xprt-common
Version: 0.0.9.final-2
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable
Seems like that there's something wrong with the preinst or postinst
scripts...
Here's a copy-and-paste of the apt-get session:
tuppa@soverign:~$ sudo apt-get -u install xprt-common
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done

Setting up xprt-common (0.0.9.final-2) ...
/bin/ksh: off: bad number
invoke-rc.d: initscript xprint, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing xprt-common (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of xprt-xprintorg:
xprt-xprintorg depends on xprt-common; however:
Package xprt-common is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing xprt-xprintorg (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
xprt-common
xprt-xprintorg
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Since mozilla-firefox now requires xprt-xprintorg to print, and Firefox
couldn't print now (as well as xprt-common won't install at all), I'm
bumping up the severity level.
Regards,
Bill
