During an 'apt upgrade' I get the following error:
libdvd-pkg: Checking orig.tar integrity...
/usr/src/libdvd-pkg/libdvdcss_1.4.3.orig.tar.bz2: OK
libdvd-pkg: `apt-get check` failed, you may have broken packages. Aborting...

But it immediately disappears because when I do 'apt-get check' I get:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done


When I do another 'apt upgrade' I get:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
firefox-esr
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

The one not upgraded is not a problem, because I have set firefox on
hold because if firefox is upgraded while it is running nowadays
firefox hangs. So I manually upgrade firefox when it is not running.

I have run 'apt upgrade' tens of times without firefox being upgraded
and have never had this error before.


What could be happening here?
Is it something to be worried about?

libdvd-pkgrCOs postinst script is broken.

It wonrCOt have (re-)built libdvdcss2.
usr/share/doc/libdvd-pkg/README.Debian has a suggestion for doing it
manually, if you care about that.

Thank you very much. I accept it for now I think.

I added the --dry-run by 'apt-get check'. With 'apt upgrade' I did not
have this error any-more. If --dry-run does not have its own
(invisible) bug it would be very nice if --dry-run is implemented.


I posted the following on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=994081:
In /usr/lib/libdvd-pkg/b-i_libdvdcss.sh at line 46, I changed:
apt-get check >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]; then
echo "${PKGI}: \`apt-get check\` failed, you may have broken packages. Aborting..."
exit 0
fi

into:
# @@@@ dry-run toegevoegd en /dev/null redirection verwijderd
echo 'BEFORE 'apt-get check' problem'
apt-get check --dry-run # >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]; then
echo "${PKGI}: \`apt-get check\` failed, you may have broken packages. Aborting..."
exit 0
fi
echo 'AFTER 'apt-get check' problem'

I had an upgrade that could be done and this resulted in:
BEFORE apt-get check problem
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
AFTER apt-get check problem

So by adding --dry-run we do not get the error anymore.
So if there is no reason that --dry-run would be wrong, I think it is a good idea to add it: then this two year old problem would finally be solved.
