tempforeverthat's odd that openssh-server upgrade fails, it works on a new excalibur install00:38
tempforeveri did upgrade one vm from daed to exca but it doesnt run ssh server00:39
tempforeveri was annoyed at some xfce changes00:40
tempforeveropenssh-server:01:17
tempforever  Installed: 1:10.0p1-501:17
fsmithredemanuel, which postinst script was it?01:19
emanuelfsmithred, temp_forever: I also get "dpkg: warning: files list file for package missing" for a huge number of packagen. Perhaps that is the reason. I'll try this: https://serverfault.com/questions/430682/dpkg-warning-files-list-file-for-package-x-missing#430712 As for the post installation script the error code was 10 for the operation --configure, the scripts are at /var/lib/dpkg/info/openssh-server.postinst and /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-efi-amd64.pos11:19
emanueltinst respectively.11:19
emanuelIt was the same error message as here, but the solutions did not work: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/430356/subprocess-installed-post-installation-script-returned-error-exit-status-1011:21
fsmithredemanuel, did you try the reinstall with the for loop?11:50
fsmithredor try 'apt -f install' to install missing packages.11:51
fsmithredI see there are a lot of changes in ssh in excalibur. Check the changelog for anything relevant. (e.g. DSA keys?)11:52
fsmithredwhat commands did you use to do the upgrade?12:04
fsmithredFWIW, I just did an upgrade of daedalus to excalibur in virtualbox set to uefi boot. No problems with grub or openssh-server.12:54
fsmithredsay a little more about what you did.12:54
emanuelfsmithred, the reinstall with te for-loop worked. (tough I had to change it because of the »« instead of '')14:12
fsmithredoh good14:13
fsmithreddo you have any idea how the problem happened?14:13
emanuelI essentially followed the upgrade guide from chimaera to daedalus: https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/daedalus/upgrade-to-daedalus14:14
emanuelapt and dpkg might have some differences between the older and the newer versions.14:16
emanuelI also needed more than one "apt upgrade" command, because it failed in the middle a few times. I am using openrc on that installation, by the way.14:18
fsmithredyeah, sometimes more than one upgrade is needed. I think it depends on what you have installed. I did my test on a minimal system with no X.14:19
emanuelSo my guess is: First old apt did the upgrade and somewhere in the middle new apt took over. But perhaps those versions do some things differently.14:21
emanuelMy installateion is with XFCE, Firefox ESR, LibreOffice, ffmpeg, mpv, yt-dlp (requireing python) and many more packages.14:23
emanuelA mysterious nameless window (completely black) still apears in XFCE after every login.14:24
fsmithredoh, I know what you're talking about. I have to remember what the fix is.14:33

fsmithredemanuel, ^^^14:37
fsmithredlooks like it hasn't been fixed. Turn off autologin in /etc/slim.conf or else switch to lightdm or other display manager14:41
emanuelThanks, but for now I'll just click close.14:55
fsmithredlol, yeah that works.14:58
