[Bug 955523] Re: chown: cannot access `/var/lib/colord': No such file or directory

[Michael Terry]

Just tested install-purge-install in a chroot, and didn't get it.  This
is because the oneiric packaging does not remove the users it creates or
delete /var/lib/colord.

The precise packaging does explicitly delete /var/lib/colord, but then
again it also explicitly creates it due to this bug report, so that's
fine.

But I think the oneiric packaging is fine.  I'm not sure we need to
patch this.

Title:
  chown: cannot access `/var/lib/colord': No such file or directory

Status in “colord” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “colord” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  == SRU Reasoning ==
  This breaks the installation of ubuntu-desktop in a clean, minimal oneiric chroot.

  The fix is a trivial postinst fix.

  == SRU Test ==
  * schroot -c oneiric-amd64 (basically, grab a clean, minimal chroot)
  * apt-get install colord
  * Success: it installs, Failure: configuration fails

  == Original Report ==

  Upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and get the following:

  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
  A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
