Package: python-pjproject
Version: 2.7.2~dfsg-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Maintainer,
python-pjproject is marked as Multi-Arch: same but its postinst and preinst
scripts call pycompile and pyclean without specifying the package architecture. As
a result if python-pjproject is installed for more than one architecture the
package name is ambiguous, causing the postinst and prerm scripts fail.
This then prevents any package from being installed or removed, thus breaking the
packaging system permanently.
The solution is to replace the following line in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/python-pjproject:*.postinst
pycompile -p python-pjproject
with
pycompile -p python-pjproject:$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH
And the following line in /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-pjproject:*.prerm
pyclean -p python-pjproject
else
dpkg -L python-pjproject | grep '\.py$' | while read file
with
pyclean -p python-pjproject:$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH
else
dpkg -L python-pjproject:$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH | grep '\.py$' | while read file
