[pkg-go] Bug#1006882: podman fails to install - unable to open podman.socket.dpkg-new

[Martin Hradil]

Package: podman
Version: 4.0.1+ds1-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: himdel at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

when upgrading podman from 4.0.1+ds1-1 to 4.0.1+ds1-3, install failed.
Purging podman and trying to install again gives me the same error:

    Unpacking podman (4.0.1+ds1-3) ...
    dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/podman_4.0.1+ds1-3_amd64.deb (--unpack):
     unable to open '/usr/lib/systemd/user/podman.socket.dpkg-new': No such file or directory
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     /var/cache/apt/archives/podman_4.0.1+ds1-3_amd64.deb

Notes:
the file indeed doesn't exist, and if I create it before install, it gets deleted.


Installing podman bookworm version (3.4.4+ds1-1) works,
upgrading from that to 4.0.1+ds1-3 still fails with the same error, except for extra lines...

    Unpacking podman (4.0.1+ds1-3) over (3.4.4+ds1-1) ...

    /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: unable to read podman.socket
    Could not execute systemctl:  at /usr/bin/deb-systemd-invoke line 142.
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     /var/cache/apt/archives/podman_4.0.1+ds1-3_amd64.deb


Not sure what the cause is, this seems to be coming from dpkg-deb and not the postrm/prerm/postinstall scripts.


Hope it helps,
Regards,
