Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.22.dfsg1-24
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks upgrade
When upgrading sasl2-bin a segfault occured:
Setting up sasl2-bin (2.1.22.dfsg1-24) ...
DB->get: method not permitted before handle's open method
/var/lib/dpkg/info/sasl2-bin.postinst: line 17: 21765 Done echo '!'
21766 Segmentation fault | saslpasswd2 -c 'no:such:user'
dpkg: error processing sasl2-bin (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139
Trying to recover (or reproduce the segfault) by aptitude install -f leads
to configuration failure:
Setting up sasl2-bin (2.1.22.dfsg1-24) ...
dpkg: error processing sasl2-bin (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
sasl2-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Setting up sasl2-bin (2.1.22.dfsg1-24) ...
dpkg: error processing sasl2-bin (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
sasl2-bin
The following debconf dialog is shown:
┌────────────────────────┤ Configuring sasl2-bin ├─────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ Failed to back up /etc/sasldb2 │
│ │
│ The /etc/sasldb2 file could not be backed up with the file name you │
│ specified. │
│ │
│ This is a fatal error and will cause the package installation to fail. │
│ │
│ Please eliminate all possible reasons that might lead to this failure, │
│ and try to configure this package again. │
│ │
│ <Ok> │
... I have not specified anything at all and the debconf dialog really doesn't
give me any help at all about where to start looking for the problem.
