Bug#812994: apt 1.2.1 fails to configure packages
Package: apt
Version: 1.2.1
Followup-For: Bug #812994
I just noticed some interesting behavior related to this bug. Looking
back at Rohan's initial term.log, we see this:
Log started: 2016-01-28 12:13:31
...
Selecting previously unselected package libglobus-xio-gridftp-driver-dev:amd64.
Preparing to unpack .../libpipeline1_1.4.1-2_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking libglobus-xio-gridftp-driver-dev:amd64 (2.11-1) ...
...
dpkg: error processing package libpipeline1 (--configure):
no package named 'libpipeline1' is installed, cannot configure
Now, the "Selecting previously unselected", "Preparing to unpack", etc.
lines come from dpkg. From what I can tell, those 3 lines should all
refer to the same archive, and they do for the rest of the log.
I had a similar problem today.

Even though there was no reason for libn32atomic1-mips64el-cross to be
installed, apt didn't download the archive, and I don't have the .deb
for it in /var/cache/apt/archives, dpkg thought it was unpacked instead
of libjpeg62-turbo.
>From /var/log/dpkg.log:
2016-02-03 08:53:33 startup archives unpack

2016-02-03 08:53:40 install libn32atomic1-mips64el-cross:all <none> 5.3.1-7cross1

2016-02-03 08:53:40 status unpacked libn32atomic1-mips64el-cross:all 5.3.1-7cross1
I'm not sure if this is something to do with how apt is driving dpkg or
dpkg itself is getting confused, but hopefully this helps.
Cheers,
James
