[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#826562: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10

[Turbo Fredriksson]

Package: mistral-api
Version: 2.0.0-2
Severity: normal

I got the following when installing mistral-api:

----- s n i p -----
dpkg: error processing package mistral-api (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mistral-api
----- s n i p -----

Modifying the postinst file:

----- s n i p -----

I then got:

----- s n i p -----
   + IFS=
 read -r _db_internal_line
+ RET=10 mistral/keystone-project-name doesn't exist
+ return 10
dpkg: error processing package mistral-api (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mistral-api
----- s n i p -----

So, creating a file /tmp/zz:

----- s n i p -----
mistral-api	mistral/keystone-project-name	string	admin
----- s n i p -----

and piping that to debconf-set-selections:

----- s n i p -----
cat /tmp/zz | debconf-set-selections
----- s n i p -----

it now completes successfully.
