Bug Description

Binary package hint: moodle

Moodle package fails on Ubuntu Server upgrade to Gutsy.

 $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure moodle
 cp: cannot create regular file `/var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/moodle-reconfigure-required': No such file or directory

The problem is at line 242 of file /var/lib/dpkg/info/moodle.postinst

 if test -d $uund; then
     cp -f /usr/share/moodle/moodle-reconfigure-required.update-notifier \
           /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/moodle-reconfigure-required
 fi

The problem was that the update-notifier not exists at Ubuntu Server version.

Hi, do you mean there is no directory named /var/lib/update-notifier/ ?

Ah ok I get it, "Puts an icon in the user's notification area when package updates are available."
I'll check the source

debian/postinst checks if the folder is available, then tries to install the file:

unud=/var/lib/update-notifier/user.d
if test -d $uund; then
    cp -f /usr/share/moodle/moodle-reconfigure-required.update-notifier \
          /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/moodle-reconfigure-required
fi

Code exists in both versions:
moodle_1.8.2-1ubuntu2.1 (gutsy)
moodle_1.8.2-1.2ubuntu2 (jaunty alpha)

If you still get this error, please set the bug status to "New" and post the full output of the dpkg-reconfigure command. :)
