libchipcard-tools 4.1.3-2 postinst fails: chown on non-existent directory /var/run/chipcard

Configuro libchipcard-tools (4.1.3-2) ...

Hi,

The package should leave the setting up of /var/run to the init script.

Thanks,

James

I had a similar experience with the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. During the upgrade the screen froze and I was forced to power down. After booting again I was able to do a dpkg --configure -a which completed the upgrade process. Rebooting again brought everything up successfully, until tried an apt-get upgrade, which provoked this error:

Setting up libchipcard-tools (4.1.3-2) ...
chown: cannot access `/var/run/chipcard': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing libchipcard-tools (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libchipcard-tools
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Running mkdir /var/run/chipcard seemed to sort it out.

Thanks, same here:

$ sudo mkdir /var/run/chipcard
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Configuro libchipcard-tools (4.1.3-2) ...
Starting libchipcard daemon: chipcardd4.

$ ll /var/run/chipcard -d
drwxr-xr-x 2 chipcard root 80 2008-11-03 23:06 /var/run/chipcard/
$ ll /var/run/chipcard
totale 4
srw-rw-rw- 1 chipcard chipcard 0 2008-11-03 23:06 chipcard.comm=
-rw-r--r-- 1 chipcard chipcard 5 2008-11-03 23:06 chipcardd4.pid

It seems that libchipcard-tools set the owner and permission of the new
directory.

Agradeço a partilha da solução mas será que conseguias fazer um tutorial
para novatos tipo passo a passo?

Sei que é chato mas tentei seguir as tuas instruções e não deu certo :(

Será que e podes ajudar??

Obrigado

this is a known bug of libgwenhywfar.

sorry, wrong catch. Will fix the problem in Debian with appropriate debian/changelog entry soon (4.2.4-2 or later)

I've submitted a fix to the packaging repository of the Debian package. The fix will soon be available in Debian with the release of libchipcard-tools 4.2.4-2.

From Debian's debian/changelog:

libchipcard (4.2.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Upload to Debian unstable (closes: #496939).
  * Fire udev rules on SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device" events
    instead on SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" events, which does not work on some
    systems (closes: #509251).
  * chown directory /var/run/chipcard to user chipcard in initscript only
    and not in libchipcard-tools.postinst script any more as suggested by
    James Westby in Ubuntu's Launchpad (LP: #283925).
  * debian/libchipcard-tools.dirs: don't list /var/run/chipcard, which is
    created by the init script now (thanks to lintian for the hint).
  * debian/control:
    + package is compliant with standards version 3.8.1 now
    + fix lintian warnings about missing ${misc:Depends}.
    + add build-dependency on dpatch
  * Add patch 10_halscanner_bugfix enabling the HAL scanner to recognize
    PCMCIA chipcard readers.
  * Adopt some changes from 4.1.3-2ubuntu1 (thanks to Scott James Remnant):
    + debian/rules: Generate udev rules to a file debhelper can pick up.
    + debian/libchipcard-tools.dirs: No need to create udev directories
    + debian/libchipcard-tools.preinst: Remove the symlink on upgrade,
      remove old rules files unless changed in which case rename it
    + debian/libchipcard-tools.postinst: Don't create symlink anymore.
      This is done by dh_installudev-generated code now (if necessary)
    + debian/libchipcard-tools.postrm: No need to remove symlink.
    Ubuntu's "Breaks: udev (<< 136-1)" is not needed because on Debian
    systems udev rules files still live in /etc/udev/.
  * debian/libchipcard-tools.postinst: Remove general comments
    (originally generated by dh_make?)
  * debian/rules:
    + remove generated file debian/libchipcard-tools.udev in clean target
    + make additional deletions in clean target verbose.
  * Add symbols files for new dpkg-shlibdeps feature.
  * debian/copyright:
    + point to versioned license files in /usr/share/common-licenses/
      (thanks to lintian for the hint). The packaging is now licensed
      under GPL version 2.
    + add missing copyrighted years up to 2009

This bug is still present in Jaunty unfortunately.

voici ce que j'obtiens après un freeze total de ma machine lors du "upgrade" de kubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 :

[sudo] password for viejo2:
/usr/bin/deborphan: Le fichier statut est dans un état impropre.
Un ou plusieurs paquets sont marqués half-installed, half-configured,
unpacked, triggers-awaited ou triggers-pending. Fin du programme.

This bug was fixed in the package libchipcard - 4.2.8-1ubuntu1

---------------
libchipcard (4.2.8-1ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Bump build-depend on debhelper to install udev rules into
      /lib/udev/rules.d, add Breaks on udev to get correct version.
    - On upgrade from old version and with modified rules file rename old
      udev rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d/40_libchipcard-tools.rules
      (instead to /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_libchipcard-tools.rules).
      This is needed due to the patch to Ubuntu's dh_installudev in
      debhelper 7.0.17ubuntu2.

libchipcard (4.2.8-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    + drop patch 20_gemexpress (included upstream)
    + drop patch 40_scanner_init_improved_error_handling (included upstream)
  * No patches left, so drop dpatch from build-depends and debian/rules.

libchipcard (4.2.7-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix formatting of libchipcard-tools.NEWS file (thanks to lintian).

libchipcard (4.2.7-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * libchipcard-tools: Run init script in boot sequence AFTER hal has been
    started or BEFORE hal has been stopped and fix boot sequence in postinst
    script (untouched configurations only).

libchipcard (4.2.7-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/libchipcard-tools.init: Include file /etc/defaults/libchipcard-tools
    if it exists.
  * Add patch 40_scanner_init_improved_error_handling for propper handling of
    device scanners failing to initialize (closes: #524320).
  * debian/control:
    + minor improvement of the long package description for libchipcard-ctapi0
    + let libchipcard-tools recommend hal (needed by the daemon for automatic
      device detection).

libchipcard (4.2.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    + fixes memory leaks in HAL scanner code (closes: #522885).
    + drops shared library libchipcardd.so.
  * debian/control:
    + drop binary package libchipcardd0
    + split dependencies into multiple lines.
    + add Conflicts/Replaces for removal of now obsolete package libchipcardd0
      on upgrade to current package libchipcard-tools.
  * debian/rules: Drop snippets for package libchipcardd0.
  * drop files debian/libchipcardd0.README.Debian (completely out of date)
    and debian/libchipcardd0.* (now obsolete).
  * now install README.Debian in package libchipcard-tools, the home of the
    daemon binary chipcardd4, the README talks about.

libchipcard (4.2.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    + drop patch 10_halscanner_bugfix (included upstream)
    + modify patch 20_gemexpress to not patch ccid_ifd.xml any more
      (this hunk is included upstream)

libchipcard (4.2.4-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * libchipcard-tools: Suggest installation of packages libtowitoko2 and
    libccid (closes: #520418).
  * Add man pages for chipcard-tool and kvkcard written by Karsten Hilbert
    (closes: #508084). Thanks a lot, Karsten, for your contributions.
  * Add patch 20_gemexpress for improved libccid driver handling
    (closes: #520283). This makes GemPC Express readers work.
    Thanks to Joachim Breitner for contributing the patch.
