util-linux issues with Debian unstable

Open beltran-rubo opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Since August the 14th, it is not possible to build Debian unstable (other distros are working well) because of dependency issues with 'util-linux' package and 'mount':

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/util-linux

dpkg: error processing package util-linux (--configure):
 installed util-linux package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
dpkg: mount: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you requested:
 mount depends on util-linux (>= 2.29.2-3~); however:
  Package util-linux is not configured yet.

Setting up mount (2.36-3) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.31-3) ...

Hi Beltran!

dpkg: error processing package util-linux (--configure):
 installed util-linux package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

This is the cause, but the actual error isn't in the snippet, what is the output before this line? There should be some error from the postinst script of util-linux

We plan to decouple the build/release process for the different distros so those errors do not affect others.
