Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

(Found while testing the proposed update in bug 465619):

When crash detection is disabled ("enable=0" in /etc/default/apport), the package upgrade fails:

$ sudo LANG= dpkg -i apport_1.9.3-0ubuntu4.1_all.deb
(Reading database ... 175926 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace apport 1.9.3-0ubuntu4 (using apport_1.9.3-0ubuntu4.1_all.deb) ...

Ah, this is apparently not an issue with karmic, just with the lucid debhelper, which adds an additional invoke-rc.d call.

The current Karmic Lintian v2.2.17ubuntu1 already warns about this for apport package.
