[Bug 541595] Re: [Master] package failed to install/upgrade: package is already installed and configured

[Martin Pitt]

As discussed on the mailing list, apport should ignore this kind of
error now. We have enough duplicates now, and it doesn't tell us
anything useful.

** Also affects: apport (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)

Title:
  [Master] package failed to install/upgrade: package is already
  installed and configured

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dpkg

  For yet unknown reasons packages fail to install with an error like:

  dpkg: error processing flashplugin-installer (--configure):
   package flashplugin-installer is already installed and configured

  without further error.
  This is a "one time" failure. Another run of the installation doesn't produce any error.
