[Master] package failed to install/upgrade: package is already installed and configured

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Binary package hint: dpkg

For yet unknown reasons packages fail to install with an error like:

dpkg: error processing flashplugin-installer (--configure):
 package flashplugin-installer is already installed and configured

without further error.
This is a "one time" failure. Another run of the installation doesn't produce any error.

Users reporting this error are also experiencing bug 545790 and bug 545738 .

Please attach the file /var/log/apt/term.log

I suspect this is a side-effect of bug #540252 - when a deferred trigger fails that is not reported as a error by dpkg, but the package that owns the trigger goes into "unconfigured" state. This leads to errors like this (I do not know if it applies in this particular case, but it does in a lot of other cases).

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Here is a script to recreate this error by corrupting the package cache of apt.
_DON'T RUN IT ON A PRODUCTION SYSTEM_

The only way to reproduce it is when pkgcache.bin and dpkg status are out of sync. In the script I intentionally corrupt pkgcache.bin and the status database but I don't see how this can happen in the real world.

From the dpkg log, it seems that it has to do with triggers and when both a package and its dependencies set the same trigger, and the error seems to always follow a system crash. But I don't know if the trigger execution is not shown into the dpkg log because the write to the log was buffered and not dumped to the log file or because the trigger was really not executed. Furthermore, I don't know if the trigger is what causes the error or if the error is elsewhere and the trigger only 'triggers' the error.

It might be a missing msync in apt or a deferred write of the pkgcache.bin.

[Raphaël Hertzog (hertzog)]

Somehow I doubt we would have so many duplicates if it was only triggered by a system crash... I wonder if the disconnect between's APT's view and dpkg's view doesn't come from some event that is not reported via the status fd (or reported but ignored/missed by APT).

Or maybe dpkg itself being stupid... it could get a request to configure several packages, but the process of configuring one in facts configures several because the other were only waiting for the trigger processing and when it tries to configure the others, it complains because they are already configured.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

As discussed on the mailing list, apport should ignore this kind of error now. We have enough duplicates now, and it doesn't tell us anything useful.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I now created a bug pattern for this to avoid any further duplicates. Is there a way to reproduce this situation, so that I can actually test it end to end?

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

While not a test case mvo mentions the following in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/672848/comments/2:

"Here is the error:

dpkg: ../../src/filesdb.c:528: findnamenode: Assertion `(*pointerp)->name[0] == '/'' failed.
dpkg: error processing libssl0.9.8 (--configure):
 package libssl0.9.8 is already installed and configured"

and:

"So first the unpack failed, then the apt got confused over the subsequent needed configures"

Sorry I'm not patient. I erased all and reinstall ubuntu 10.4.02. I
didn't have this trouble again.
Thanks for your support

Just experienced this while trying to upgrade 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10, aftering rebooting from the 11.04 upgrade and running the 11.10 upgrade. I had a related libc6 error, which may be the cause of the problem.

On my system, in particular, it appears to originate with a clang dependency issue.

[Mike Kupfer (mkupfer37)]

Just ran into this upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 Beta 1. I got a pop-up complaining that the installation of update-manager-core had failed because of a problem with exc_tests.py (I'll file a separate bug for that), then later I got a separate pop-up with the "already installed and configured" message. This was in a 32-bit VirtualBox VM.

[Mike Kupfer (mkupfer37)]

FWIW, the first error pop-up that I got for update-manager-core is filed as 946113.

[Per Moller (per-moller)]

My successful updates stopped with a message something like "No file name for libgcc1" (an internal error that keeps popping up.
This could be my last ecperience with Ubuntu

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

This bug may have been resolved with apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu6 (and the corresponding backported upgrader apt in lucid), or even with 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu1. We should check if this is still happening when using the newer apt.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Looking at the duplicates of this bug we see the following versions of apt:

Same here with the package python-uno, simple upgrade from ubuntu Oneiric to Precise testing today.
First I had another message during the upgrade process while downloading packages it could not delete python-uno and then I got this error message:

Dear <email address hidden>,

I don't think that's very nice. Let him stay subscribed, perhaps he wants
to hear this important discussion. This is for discussion of a nasty bug,
please keep it on topic, to reduce the amount of annoying emails sent.

The only person who can get you off this bug list is you. If you want to stop receiving emails about this bug go to the bug and at the bottom of the (long) list of duplicates is the text 'Mute bug mail' - click there to stop receiving emails about this bug. Please do not write to this bug asking to stop receiving email - it doesn't work like that.

[Jacob MacDonald (jaccarmac)]

This bug appeared for me when I upgraded to 12.04. I am using apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10 (a newer version that the one assumed to fix this bug). Since I could not parse an actual solution from this page, I would appreciate a more in-depth explanation.

[Dave Russell (drussell)]

Agreed, also seeing this error with apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10

[Mike Hamilton (mhamilton)]

I am not really knowledgable about ubuntu or linux but have used for a few years. After updating my screen froze at "checking battery state". I ran a recovery from my earliest version and rebooted. Got to my desktop and mostly seems to be working. Am getting messages about failure to install certain packages. Will continue to use and hope it works out. Thanks.

Bonjour,
c'est un rapport de bug qui doit se faire automatiquement et depuis la
communautée UBUNTU essaie de me dépanner. Merci à eux.
Lors de ma mise à niveau vers Ubuntu 12.04 un message apparait comme quoi
des paquets ne sont pas installés ou installation incomplète; mais pour moi
pas de problèmes de fonctionnement constatés, mais je ne suis pas un expert.
merci à vous.

[dr arya s (aryakutabali)]

good work

[Steve White (stevan-white)]

Hi,

Still having the problem, at least on x86_64.

Tried again with apt-get.

/etc/init.d/bluetooth: 6: /etc/default/bluetooth: hidd: not found
 * Stopping bluetooth [ OK ]
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 6: /etc/default/bluetooth: hidd: not found
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/bluez_4.98-2ubuntu7_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 127
Can't open /etc/init/bluetooth.override: No such file or directory.
/etc/init.d/bluetooth: 6: /etc/default/bluetooth: hidd: not found
 * Starting bluetooth [ OK ]

[Howard Brodale (brodhow)]

Upgrading to precise Pangolin 12.04 has lead to problems like this on my Ubuntu pc. Its linux header documentation files that won't install because of not enough space on device:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-3.2.0-24_3.2.0-24.37_all.deb: error creating directory `./usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-24': No space left on device
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic_3.2.0-24.37_i386.deb: error creating directory `./usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic': No space left on device
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae_3.2.0-24.37_i386.deb: error creating directory `./usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae': No space left on device

 df shows /usr to be:
df /usr
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 4504400 3917004 361624 92% /usr

But, sda5, mounted as root or /, shows to be only half full by GParted, where /usr is.

Disk Usage Analyzer shows / to be 100% where /usr is at 41.5%. Looks like Ubuntu Linux 12.04 isn't being smart about how much hard space is really left.

 And, another anomaly is df /proc:
df /proc
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
proc 0 0 0 - /proc

 Where /proc does have a lot of stuff in it.

 This /usr not having enough space issue is also leading to app-port problems where processes are failing from broken pipes. And, weird behaviors where control is lost and app windows go blank. Only a Terminal issued shutdown works where no gui control is, there.

[GerhardGaußling (ggrubbish-web)]

Howard Brodale, this seems to be a duplicate bug of these bugs:
Update manager doesn't calculate free space correctly for distribution upgrade
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/986272
update manager space calculation for a release upgrade was wrong - aftereffect: package ghc 7.4.1-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upgrade-system/+bug/996379

[Howard Brodale (brodhow)]

Gerhard GauBling, this is after the upgrade where I did not get an error like this during or before the upgrade ended. This is afterwards.

  I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 now but, now the Synaptic Package Manager (on Update for other new updates too) says that the package system is broken:

The package system is broken

Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f

 Running apt-get install -f renders this same error (after the version upgrade):

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic_3.2.0-24.37_i386.deb (--unpack):
 error creating directory `./usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic': No space left on device

 /usr shows to be:

df /usr
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 4504400 3917004 361624 92% /usr <---- at 92% full so, why does Ubuntu 12.04 think that /usr has no space left? Is this saying that needs more than the 8% that is available?

 If so, the the root directory, where /usr is, shows to be 54% full! Therefore, it looks like Ubuntu 12.04 is not able to use that free space in the root directory! Or, why does it say that /usr is 92% full when it has another 1.3gig of free space in the root directory? This is whats dumb about this.

[Howard Brodale (brodhow)]

And, my lp printing system is also broken now too. Or, what used to work good now doesn't work at all! All of the posted jobs to my laser printer are showing up as 0 byte files.

[Howard Brodale (brodhow)]

/usr is a stand alone partition apart from / as it turns out so I shrunk / by 900mb and grew /usr by about that that much and gave /var the rest. So, now /usr is 86% full but, apt-get install -f still says there is no space left on /usr:

I have many linux-images now that are saved which is hoggig my /usr space. I can no longer update my Ubuntu software because of the latest linux-image update download:

Unpacking linux-headers-3.0.0-23-generic (from .../linux-headers-3.0.0-23-generic_3.0.0-23.39_i386.deb) ...

df

so, I only have 527448 left in /usr for a lot more that is needed but, this breaks my package system since linux-headers-3.0.0-23-generic is downloaded but, not installed. apt-get -f install doesn't work because the No space left error is still there. Neither does --purge remove!

apt-get -f --purge remove linux-headers-3.0.0-23-generic
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package linux-headers-3.0.0-23-generic is not installed, so not removed
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-headers-generic : Depends: linux-headers-3.0.0-23-generic but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

 Not installed, so not removed!

 I need to remove the older kernel linux-images but, Synaptic won't remove them without fixing the package system first. So, its a catch-22 situation. I need more space in /usr by removing some older kernal linux-images but I can't remove them because of the no space left in /usr that causes this broken package system!

Had issue with 11.50.1074 to 12.01.1532 upgrade:
Opera update errored out, Libqtgui4 failed
12.01 update manager would not work or ubuntu software center
Error indicator said try apt-get...played with that and went through the steps similar to post #46- Richard Jones (alison-richard) wrote on 2012-06-07:
Solved using the following terminal commands:
> sudo apt-get clean all

After update completed install (500 packages) install is fine.

Opera issue was a bad public key...

I am no linger using Ubuntu. It is way too resource hungry for my fujitsu

Thanks for the solution.

If you're switching distros because Ubuntu is too heavy, switch to Arch
Linux, unless you're not very tech-savvy.

I am already using Windows 7 and it has been quite alright.

Thanks for the info but for me, I will stick with Windows 7 for this few
yrs and switch to mac os if necessary.

Thank you.

[Torin Ireland (coldnitro)]

Windows 7 is okay, but I can't see why you would think it would be lighter
than Ubuntu by any significant margin... it's not. If you want a lighter
Ubuntu use Lubuntu. It is based off of LXDE and WAY lighter than Windows 7.
Plus, if you use Windows 7 you get dem viruses and Big Brother Microsoft to
deal with. Not fun.

I am now typing this on kde plasma ubuntu 12.04. The reason I continue
using Windows because many of my external and internal customer and people
indirectly involved in my dealings used Windows software.

Yes, I like Ubuntu and android but I hate fragmentation. I had been using
Windows for many years and Windows office products. Windows 7 is the
better side of Windows since Windows 98. I don't use Windows 8 even though
it is said to be much improved and I hated Vista.

I find that there are situations that call for Windows because of work
related issues and times that Call for Linux for problem solving all of
those issues that arrive in Windows. Most of these problems tend to be
related to projects that haven't actually made Linux a mainstream and
compatible for modern entertainment.

Looks like I've added this to a duplicate bug, so here it is again:

I've had this problem today, I was applying a patch to postfix, based on the following:
https://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-ubuntu-14.04-lts#-apply-the-quota-patch-to-postfix

After that, dpkg complained about "cannot access archive: No such file or directory". The deb archive was postfix_2.11.0-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb.

I've run the dpkg through strace, and I found the following:
stat("postfix_2.11.0-1_amd64.deb", 0x7ffcaa79c310) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

So, I've renamed the file postfix_2.11.0-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb to postfix_2.11.0-1_amd64.deb, and it successfully installed.

I have no idea what is causing this, but this was a "solution".

The strangest thing is that now even the first archive is installing correctly. (dpkg -i postfix_2.11.0-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
