  • Bug#1101456: fails to upgrade

    From VA@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 27 21:40:01 2025
    Package: javascript-common
    Version: 12
    Severity: serious

    For some reason, javascript-common fails to upgrade, and it also fails
    to be reinstalled, which prevents from upgrading dependents.

    ```
    # dpkg --configure --pending
    Setting up javascript-common (12) ...
    dpkg: error processing package javascript-common (--configure):
    installed javascript-common package post-installation script
    subprocess returned error exit status 1
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dokuwiki:
    dokuwiki depends on javascript-common; however:
    Package javascript-common is not configured yet.

    dpkg: error processing package dokuwiki (--configure):
    dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    javascript-common
    dokuwiki
    ```

    I tried to follow what's inside #718318 but I have no javascript-common
    file in /etc/apache2. I don't have lighthttpd, so I removed
    /etc/lighttpd (which contained files from javascript-common, see
    #912002) and tried to install again:

    ```
    # dpkg -i javascript-common_12_all.deb
    (Reading database ... 482559 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack javascript-common_12_all.deb ...
    Unpacking javascript-common (12) over (12) ...
    Setting up javascript-common (12) ...
    javascript-alias was disabled in lighttpd.
    Hint: Use "lighttpd-enable-mod javascript-alias" to re-enable.
    dpkg: error processing package javascript-common (--install):
    installed javascript-common package post-installation script
    subprocess returned error exit status 1
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    javascript-common
    ```

    As you can see, there's no error message indicating why it fails.

    Hi,

    AFAICT, the postinst script most likely fails in the automatically added snippet:

    # Automatically added by dh_apache2/UNDECLARED
    if true; then
    if [ -e /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper ] ; then
    . /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper
    for conf in javascript-common ; do
    apache2_invoke enconf $conf || exit 1
    done
    fi
    fi
    # End automatically added section

    Looking at the apache2-maintscript-helper, could you please run the
    following commands and share the output?

    a2query -c javascript-common
    echo $?

    Please also check your system logs/journal from the time around you
    attempted the upgrade, there might be more messages there.

    I wasn't able to reproduce the issue. For me, the javascript-common
    installs and re-installs without issue. Thus, I wonder if this should be considered release-critical or lowered in priority.

    Best Regards,
    Fiona
