############## SRU ###############
[Impact]
Package mcollective will break when called with "triggered"

[Development Fix]
Fixed on package mcollective-2.0.0-1ubuntu1 for quantal

[Stable Fix]
Added triggered code from new debian package (debian had the same issue)

[Test Case]
Install mcollective-plugins-* package, mcollective should restart by the "triggered" option

[Regression Potential]
Very unlikely

[James Page (james-page)]

Confirmed:

apt-get install mcollective-plugins-\*

Result:

Processing triggers for mcollective ...
postinst called with unknown argument `triggered'
dpkg: error processing mcollective (--unpack):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mcollective
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

[James Page (james-page)]

Running:

sudo apt-get -f install

Fixed this up but it definitely a bug.

[Marc Cluet (lynxman)]

Will generate new version for SRU and also inform the debian team about it

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Unsubscribing motu-sru, which is no longer an active team. Please follow the SRU process described at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure>.

[Marc Cluet (lynxman)]

Oops apologies Steve

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

Thanks a lot for your work here. Sponsored in both quantal and precise for the SRU. Excellent work :)

Hello martin, or anyone else affected,
