[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#982758: webext-browserpass: Failed to install on upgrade to bullseye

[Wookey]

Package: webext-browserpass
Version: 3.4.1-4+b2
Severity: important


This is going to be a crappy bugreport because I didn't save the
upgrade log or state-at-fail on this machine (Sorry - I normally
do). But it's quite serious so I thought I'd log it in case others hit
it and can add info, or it's sufficiently obvious what might have gone wrong.

This package gave a dpkg error on upgrade about being unable to create
a file under .mozilla. (the filename had braces {} in it).

I removed it to complete the upgrade. It then re-installed OK.

A clue may well be that I copied an existing mozilla profile into the
.mozilla/firefox direcotry just before upgrading.

I have several 'webext-*' packages installed and the others did not
cause any trouble.  (-debianbuttons, -privacy-badger, -ublock-origin)
so there is something different about -browserpass
