  • Bug#1105804: discover: Updates & installs return the same error.

    From Peter N.@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 15 03:10:01 2025
    XPost: linux.debian.maint.boot

    Package: discover
    Version: 2.1.2-10
    Severity: normal
    X-Debbugs-Cc: com177@comcast.net

    Dear Maintainer,


    * What led up to the situation? Problem began with last system update.
    * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
    ineffective)? Nothing, the error began appearing any time a new update or new app install was done using Discovery.
    * What was the outcome of this action? Updates usually occur but I believe not always.
    * What outcome did you expect instead? Not to receive the same error message every time a new update or app install is done.

    Error message is: Package failed to install: Error while installing package: installed linux-image-6.1.0-34-amd64 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

    Hi Peter,

    and thanks for your report.

    We could reassign but it'd probably make more sense for us to close this
    bug report while you file another one against the right package, so that reportbug can include any relevant information. The right package being:

    plasma-discover - Discover software management suite

    I may be wrong but it seems to me that plasma-discover is only acting as
    a front-end for apt/dpkg here, and the actual error comes from linux-image-6.1.0-34-amd64 post-installation script which calls scripts
    from other packages (grub, initramfs-tools...) in
    /etc/kernel/postinst.d/. I would check apt logs /var/log/apt/term.log*
    or manually run "apt upgrade" in console for more detailed error messages.
