[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#983401: zfs-zed: Update of zfs-zed from buster-backports fails.

[Andreas Christ]

Package: zfs-zed
Version: 2.0.2-1~bpo10+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I tried to upgrade the package zfs-zed to the new version in buster-backports.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

apt-get dist-upgrade
   * What was the outcome of this action?

Setting up zfs-zed (2.0.2-1~bpo10+1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/zfs-zed ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/zfs/zed.d/zed-functions.sh ...

exit status 1
Processing triggers for systemd (241-7~deb10u6) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 zfs-zed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected the upgrade to terminate without errors.

I deleted the symlink to /etc/zfs/zed.d/history_event-zfs-list-cacher.sh. Then
the package upgraded without errors. Please see also
