I have some problems with libgdl dependencies that prevent it from being upgraded. is it a known problem? [14:00] salty-horse: which problem? [14:01] I have libgdl-1-0 in version 0.7.11-1. there's an upgrade available to 2.24.0-1, but python-gnome2-extras has not been updated, and it depends on the older version [14:02] also, python-gnome2-extras-dev HAS been updated, but it depends on a newer python-gnome2-extras which doesn't exist [14:03] salty-horse: There's been a bit of a catch and loop with build timings. It ought be sorted reasonably soon. Check the build state on LP if you want to watch the progress. [14:03] persia, it's been like this for about a week [14:03] I'll check the builds on lp [14:04] salty-horse: Yes, there's been a lot of confusion about it. I think I saw traffic indicating it might be sorted earlier today, although either I could be mistaken, or those sorting it could be mistaken.

[14:27] If you don't have a solution yet, you can wait for them to try again. [14:27] persia, I think that build fails for a long time now. seb128 made the last change [14:27] If you watch the build status, you'll be able to see progress on resolving your issue. [14:28] salty-horse: Look at your link again. Last build started 24 minutes ago. [14:28] what does it mean? maybe it rebuilds it again and again, failing each time? [14:29] salty-horse: The problem may have been around for a while, but that doesn't mean it's being ignored: in this case you can see it being actively worked on. [14:29] No, when it fails it waits for a developer to take some action.

I thought that one was safe. [14:36] seb128: besides, i wasn't rantin.

[14:38] persia: I do test builds locally but that one is somewhat sbuild specific apparently [14:38] seb128: I know. I don't fault you it not building. I've local sbuild if I can test it for you.

[16:38] persia: Ok. [16:39] For example, I try to triage and fix *every* bug in wildmidi or freqtweak. As a result, I often triage my own bugs there, because I'm likely to coordinate the fix. Similarly, when I report an issue complaining about some dialog text that's not quite right, I'll set it to wishlist. For other bugs, I tend to try to find someone else to triage them (perhaps as trade for triaging their bugs). === asac_ is now known as asac [17:07] salty-horse: is the init bug related to locale? I'm confused after reading the backlog. :P [17:07] no, it's a different problem :) [17:08] and I have no idea where that coredump was written to :) [17:08] (I used "sudo aptitude") [17:14] salty-horse: when does the init problem happen?

[17:18] nope, because I'm not sure what the problem is [17:19] should I just open a bug with the error and my specs? [17:19] well, bug reports are there to report issues, they are useful even if you are not able to figure what the bug is ;-) [17:19] ok, I will [17:19] just copy the upgrade log and the error [17:19] ok [17:22] init:io.c:724: Assertion failed in nih_io_message_send: message != NULL [17:22] Aborted (core dumped) [17:22] freaky [17:23] it didn't do that when I used dpkg locally [17:23] kees, I'm reporting it now [17:24] salty-horse: thanks.

[21:14] by the user? [21:15] sub process post-installation script killed by the signal interrupt [21:15] i guess it means there was an interrupt signal, which could possibly mean a ctrl+c [21:15] which is basically CTRL+C isn't it?

[21:23] I'll look at the german one [21:24] which bit of the log tells us that they interrupted when being asked what to do with the conffiles? [21:25] apt-term.log, line 2046 (long line with a lot of control characters) is very likely the dialog for the conffiles [21:25] immediatly followed by "sous-processus post-installation script tué par le signal (Interrupt)" [21:26] looks suspicious in my opinion. Same goes for the 138535 by the way. [21:27] thats strange. it seems unlikely that two users would interrupt it exactly the same point [21:28] true [21:28] it is not really strange: a dialog is shown there, so that gives the user a lot of time to decide what to do [21:29] thats true. but why haven't we seen more users interrupt conffile prompts for other pacakges? [21:29] or maybe we have? [21:29] *that* I cannot answer ;-) [21:29] I haven't [21:30] maybe bdmurray has ;) [21:31] Not I, but I have some lists of post-installation script apport-package bugs someone could look at [21:32] sounds like a good target for a hugday, after intrepid release maybe [21:32] the description in bug 138535 actually says that the upgrade hung at installing php5-cli, which would explain why the user interrupted it [21:32] Launchpad bug 138535 in php5 "package php5-cli 5.2.3-1ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: Unterprozess post-installation script mit Signal (Interrupt) getötet" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/138535 [21:32] maybe the same happened for bug 220066 [21:32] Launchpad bug 220066 in update-manager "[Hardy] Corrupted FS after upgrade" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/220066 [21:33] unfortunately, the logs do not say why it hung [21:33] i think the only way to work that out is probably to do a gutsy -> hardy upgrade [21:34] I can imagine that the users did not read the last lines. They just noticed that it stopped there for quite some time and that's why they try a ctrl-c [21:34] I believe you can get a package hang if a package misuses ucf [21:34] bug 221856 sounds identical [21:34] Launchpad bug 221856 in openct "package openct 0.6.14-2 failed to install/upgrade: sous-processus post-installation script tu? par le signal (Interrompre)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/221856 [21:34] ucf displays debconf like prompts as well [21:34] its funny you should say that james_w. i've just looked in the postinst script for php5, and there is a workaround for legacy php5 packages which use ucf [21:34] to take care of the upgrades from dapper -> hardy [21:35] chrisccoulson: can you stick it in a pastebin please?
