package ocsinventory-agent 1:0.0.8-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)

This is fixed in Debian 1:0.0.8-3.

alright, this is the same error i got. Is there a patch for it avivable?

You should fetch Debian's package, which can be installed with no problems in Ubuntu hardy or gutsy, from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/ocsiinventory-agent.

This package should really be upgraded in Ubuntu. It's unusable right now and breaks the package system.

Subscribing MOTU-SRU per indications on IRC.

The obvious fix is to pull 1:0.0.8-3 from http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2008/04/13/debian/pool/main/o/ocsinventory-agent/.

Attached is an interdiff between -1 and -3. There's an apparently extraneous but inoffensive ocsinventory-agent-0.0.8/.pc/.version file added, but that should be OK.

Just confirmed, and the version in http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/ocsinventory-agent/ works fine, how it's supposed to.

The regular Ubuntu repo version hangs right after asking for conection type and host name, and never concludes it's post-configurations.

Thanks!

Same problem here...

same problem do you have any idea if the package will be repaired soon?

Hey there!

While trying to install 1:0.0.8-3 I realized that there was some unresolved dependency: ocsinventoryagent is dependent on libproc-daemon-perl.

After I installed this package the common update with package manager to 1:0.0.8-1 worked just fine!

Bye,

Hi,

I do have libproc-daemon-perl installed, but installation of ocsinventory-agent using apt-get still hangs...

Bye,

Julien

Having libproc-daemon-perl installed has nothing to do with fixing this bug.

Any idea if the package will be repaired soon ?

Boy it's taking so long for a simple repackage!

Fixed in Intrepid.

This needs to be fixed in Hardy too, ACK from motu-sru.
I'll prepare an update soon

Why haven't you done it then? virtually all MOTU are volunteers.
Personally, I find complaints like this a good incentive to spend my
volunteer time on something else.

Version 1:0.0.8-1ubuntu0.1 uploaded to hardy-proposed.

Well sorry, Scott, if I offended you. But I do not know what a MOTU is, and don't know how to make new packages go into the Ubuntu repos. I'm just a user trying to help.

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Thanks Martin!

Martin, I followed the instructions but the proposed version doesn't come up. Could it be because I have my Ubuntu all in Portugues (pt_BR)?

Alroger, probably your mirror is not up-to-date yet. You can either wait a bit or download new package from here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/ocsinventory-agent/1:0.0.8-1ubuntu0.1

Waited and it finally came in.
Package installation worked!

Great job guys! Thank you very much to all of you that spent time working and discussing this fix!

Version 1:0.0.8-1ubuntu0.1 in hardy-proposed installs and configures correctly now.

Copied to hardy-updates.
