[Bug 787061] Re: PHP5 fails to install lucid

[Clint Byrum]

Hi Ian, thanks for taking the time to file a bug report!

There is no dependency issue above. The post-installation script failed,
as indicated here:

Setting up libapache2-mod-php5 (5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9) ...
dpkg: error processing libapache2-mod-php5 (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 20

So dpkg will not configure the rest of the dependent packages until
libapache2-mod-php5 is configured.

The post-installation script, if you haven't removed the package from
your system, should be at

/var/lib/dpkg/info/libapache2-mod-php5.postinst

It most likely had some issue while configuring the module. Error 20 is
generally "Not a directory", so probably tried to do an 'rmdir' or
'chdir' on a directory that isn't on your system even though it should
be. That very well could be a bug if its a directory the script should
not expect to automatically be there. You can help us figure out if its
a bug, or if your system has problems causing the issue, by running it
with

sudo sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/libapache2-mod-php5.postinst configure
5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9

And pasting the output here.

Marking Incomplete pending response from Ian.
