Bug Description
Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
ucf package version: 3.0027+nmu1
Attempting to upgrade php5-cli and libapache2-mod-php5 packages produces the following error:
Setting up php5-cli (5.5.9+
ucfr: Attempt from package php5-cli to take /etc/php5/
ucfr: Aborting.
dpkg: error processing package php5-cli (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4
Setting up libapache2-mod-php5 (5.5.9+
ucfr: Attempt from package libapache2-mod-php5 to take /etc/php5/
ucfr: Aborting.
dpkg: error processing package libapache2-mod-php5 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4
The strange package names seem to be present in /var/lib/
Previous versions of the registry file in registry.1 et seq have fewer prepended numbers
until registry.5 which has none.
Not actually a bug; it turns out GREP_OPTIONS was set in the environment to include "-n".
