Package: lm-sensors
Version: 2.8.6-11
Severity: normal


Can't upgrade from lm-sensors 2.8.6-11 to -12 and then -13 due to the
following error in post-removal script

   Preparing to replace lm-sensors 2.8.6-11 (using .../lm-sensors_2.8.6-13_i386.deb) ...
   Unpacking replacement lm-sensors ...
*  cat: alsa: No such file or directory
   dpkg: warning - old post-removal script returned error exit status 1

    /var/cache/apt/archives/lm-sensors_2.8.6-13_i386.deb
   E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

You could see with the powermgmt-base package maintainer Chris Hanson 
<cph@debian.org> for a solution since he had the same matters with that
packages (see bug #253246. I can't have check it works because mirrors
have not been updated yet).

Note that it puts the package in undeterminate state and that it is
impossible to downgrade or reinstall it (-11) and recover a normal state.

Hey there, this bug was closed some time ago (around May 26th), but
wasn't closed in the changelog. So closing it here.

(For context, /etc/{modutils,modprobe.d}/alsa was a dangling symlink,
and causing update-modules to bomb during lm-sensors installation)
