[Bug 218597] Re: package failed to upgrade but marked as upgraded

[sam]

Hi,
  I am sorry for not being clear.
The network was not working, and flash is already installed, this is for the
upgrade

when dpkg runs to upgrade flash, it runs a script which downloads flash,
right? if the script fails (in my case because the network was broken) then
dpkg marks the operation as susccessfull and so my flash is listed as the
next upgraded version when in reality it never upgraded because the download
script failed.

running apt-get again when the network is up finds no new updates even
thought the flash version itself is outdated. I am guessing that the script
that is run does not communicate to dpkg that the upgrade failed.
