Bug#845398: x11-common: Can't configure
Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.7+17
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hello,
x11-common can't be installed any more now that x11-common.postinst has
set -e:
Setting up x11-common (1:7.7+17) ...
dpkg: error processing package x11-common (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 20
Errors were encountered while processing:
x11-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This is because postinst calls
db_purge x11-common/xwrapper/allowed_users
db_purge x11-common/xwrapper/actual_allowed_users
According to debconf-devel(7), the PURGE command doesn't take any
parameter, it is not meant to remove just one entry.
I guess what was meant was rather
db_unregister x11-common/xwrapper/allowed_users
db_unregister x11-common/xwrapper/actual_allowed_users
to remove those old entries.
