[php-maint] Bug#707131: php5-cgi: fails to install: dpkg-maintscript-helper usage error

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: php5-cgi
Version: 5.5.0~beta4-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

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

  Selecting previously unselected package php5-cgi.
  (Reading database ... 6759 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking php5-cgi (from .../php5-cgi_5.5.0~beta4-2_amd64.deb) ...

  Commands:

  	Returns 0 (success) if the given command is supported, 1 otherwise.
    rm_conffile <conffile> [<last-version> [<package>]]
  	Remove obsolete conffile. Must be called in preinst, postinst and
  	postrm.
    mv_conffile <old-conf> <new-conf> [<last-version> [<package>]]
  	Rename a conffile. Must be called in preinst, postinst and postrm.

  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/php5-cgi_5.5.0~beta4-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/php5-cgi_5.5.0~beta4-2_amd64.deb

The changelog for 5.5.0~beta4-3 does not mention anything related, so I
assumed its an unknown and unfixed problem.


cheers,

Andreas
