1. The package fails to install and remove since the init script fails to properly start or stop the tscd daemon.
2. This has been fixed in 0.3.1-5 by modifying the script (see DBTS #459679).
3. A minimal patch to fix this for hardy is attached.
4. TEST CASE: to reproduce the bug just try to install the trousers package currently in hardy. The installation will fail and the package will be left in a broken state. Try then adding the hardy-proposed repo and upgrade. The installation should succeed. Note that a tpm driver MUST exist and a /dev/tpm character device MUST be present for the installation to be successfull.
5. The potential for regression is very small since the patch only modifies the init script.

SRU ack'd, please proceed with upload to hardy-proposed.

accepted into hardy-proposed, please test.

To have this available in hardy-updates, we need your help in testing it.
If you would like to help, please add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed universe

Then update and install (or upgrade) trousers with your preferred package manager.
Please report test results here.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

The update from hardy-proposed worked fine for me

We need another positive test report for this to make its way to hardy-updates. Please, anyone that can test this, do so and report here.

I verified that the hardy-final version failed to install. The hardy-proposed version installs successfully.

(Both versions fail to purge horribly, but that's a different bug).

So this can be considered verified, I think.

Copied to hardy-updates.

Hi... I need some serious help here

I'm currently on hardy, with trousers 0.3.1-4 on my Synaptic that refuses to go away.
it gives me this error all the time

"E: trousers: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1"

Stopping Trusted Computing daemon: invoke -rc.d: initscript trousers, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing trousers (--purge);
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status l
Starting Trusted Computing daemon: device driver not loaded, aborting

How can I solve this? What should I do? I tried adding deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed universe into my "Third-Party Software", and enabling "hardy-proposed" under Ubuntu updates... but I fail to see the version 0.3.1-5 coming out

and when I tried tpm_version in my terminal, i get this error:
Tspi_Context_Connect failed: 0x00003011 - layer=tsp, code=0011 (17), Communication failure

when i check /dev/ there isnt any tpm folder either
There doesnt seem to be any driver installed for my tpm chip.

I'm having a ST v1.2 TPM on my motherboard... how can I install the driver?

I've just started out linux a few days ago, I really hope that it wont be the last

I confirm the problem with versions
0.3.1-4 (hardy)
and 0.3.1-4ubuntu0.1 (hardy-updates).
I cannot retrieve version 0.3.1-5, neither from hardy-updates nor hardy-proposed. 0.3.1-4ubuntu0.1 is the latest I get from both.
Is this the fixed version? if so, it does NOT fix the problem.

As mentioned in comment 8, this is another bug. Please open a new bug report about it.
