| clobrano | hi, looking at the bug list I've found quite often issues like "failed install/upgrade, package x is already installed and configured". This message alone, does not seems a reason to issue a bug, to me. So, out of curiosity, what kind of error is this? Thanks? | 09:04 |
|---|---|---|
| clobrano | *Thanks without question mark :D | 09:04 |
| tsimonq2 | clobrano: I can give some insight on this | 10:33 |
| tsimonq2 | clobrano: tl;dr apt throws up :P | 10:33 |
| tsimonq2 | clobrano: Got an example bug report? | 10:34 |
| clobrano | tsimonq2: :D | 10:34 |
| clobrano | tsimonq2: yes, I'll check again for the one I saw last | 10:34 |
| tsimonq2 | clobrano: Ok :) | 10:34 |
| clobrano | tsimonq2: Bug #1703548 | 10:35 |
| ubot5 | bug 1703548 in m4 (Ubuntu) "package m4 1.4.17-5 failed to install/upgrade: package m4 is already installed and configured" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1703548 | 10:35 |
| tsimonq2 | clobrano: Huh, that is very interesting... | 10:40 |
| tsimonq2 | From waht I can tell, apt gets confused when it's configuring the package | 10:40 |
| tsimonq2 | *what | 10:41 |
| tsimonq2 | clobrano: Interesting, I don't know what to say | 10:42 |
| tsimonq2 | Weird... | 10:43 |
| clobrano | tsimonq2: :D, yeah but, generically speaking is "APT: I cannot configure this, since is already configured" to be considered an error? | 10:43 |
| clobrano | I mean, it's configured so it's ok, or am I oversimplifying? | 10:44 |
| tsimonq2 | clobrano: It all depends if it's something that makes apt stop dead in its tracks or if it's just a warning. | 10:46 |
| tsimonq2 | I can't reproduce it though. | 10:46 |
| clobrano | tsimonq2: I see, I actually didn't try reproducing this particular bug | 10:48 |
| clobrano | well, I don't know apt as well, but I was curious, because there are a lot of bugs like this one | 10:49 |
| tsimonq2 | Yeah | 10:51 |
| clobrano | tsimonq2: btw, this is really a good example of function name that documents itself (dpkg, not apt): ohshit(_("package %.250s is already installed and configured") :D | 11:56 |
| tsimonq2 | :D | 12:09 |
