monkeysphere 0.35 installation on debian fails if 0.31 was purged earlier
A colleague reported to me that they had done the following sequence of events:
- installed monkeysphere 0.30-1 via the debian package
- upgraded to 0.31-1 via the debian package
- purged the monkeysphere package
then, a couple months, later, tried to:
- install the 0.35 package, and it failed to install, citing an error with a transition script.
we were able to get it to install by doing:
@mv /var/lib/monkeysphere /var/lib/monkeysphere.old@
and then re-installing 0.35. but this suggests a problem with our debian packaging or with our transition scripts.
