dist-upgrade error
« on: February 11, 2010, 04:20:26 pm »
I just did an apt-get update and dist-upgrade on 810 and received the following errors
Code: [Select]
Setting up pluto-boot-scripts (2.0.0.44.10021122758) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/pluto-boot-scripts.postinst: line 104: /etc/skel/Desktop/LinuxMCE: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing pluto-boot-scripts (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up libmysqlclient15-dev (5.0.67-0ubuntu6.1) ...

Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Errors were encountered while processing:
 pluto-boot-scripts
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Is this something I need to worry about? is it a bug?
If more info is needed ask and I'll try to provide.

-Coley.

I had the same problem.  Looks like the script believes that /etc/skel/Desktop will exist.  to correct type:
Code: [Select]
sudo mkdir /etc/skel/Desktop
then run the upgrade again
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

yeah that will allow the script to continue - but why is it looking for this in the first place?
Is it a mistake in the script or should it exist already?

http://www.linfo.org/etc_skel.html

What is being put in the directory that is created?  Get that information, and open a ticket (if one isn't already opened).

Look here in the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/pluto-boot-scripts.postinst

Code: [Select]
## Add shortcut to the desktop to get back to LinuxMCE orbiter
cat <<eol >/etc/skel/Desktop/LinuxMCE
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=8.10
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/pluto/bin/ActivateOrbiterFromKDE.sh
Path=/usr/pluto/bin
Name=Back To LinuxMCE Orbiter
Icon=gnome-panel-launcher
eol

Script should really detect whether the folder exists,

[ -d /etc/skel/Desktop/ ] || mkdir /etc/skel/Desktop/

Yes, it probably should.  Open a ticket with that suggestion.

This is also causing /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh to error out long before finishing.
