[Pkg-opennebula-devel] Bug#681567: opennebula-common: fails to install, purge, and install again

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: opennebula-common
Version: 3.4.1-3
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install,
remove+purge, and install again.

Like a plain failure on initial install this makes the package too buggy
for a release, thus the severity.

This is often a problem with the home directory of a system user:
the user is not deleted during purge (which is fine), but the home
directory is removed. Since the user already exists on the next
installation, adduser won't recreate the home.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package opennebula-common.
  (Reading database ... 6819 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking opennebula-common (from .../opennebula-common_3.4.1-3_all.deb) ...
  Setting up opennebula-common (3.4.1-3) ...
  mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/one/.ssh': No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing opennebula-common (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   opennebula-common


cheers,

Andreas
