Robinson" Package: ldso Version: 1.7.8 Revision: 2 If one installs ldso as part of a large [U]pdate, one will see many many many errors about incorrect version number. While the postinst warns about this, the user won't see this until the postinst is run, which may mean the user will see thousands of these error messages while dpkg works on other packages. This will probably worry new users. Is there a solution to this problem? The only one I could think of is a special flag that tells dpkg to run the postinst immediately.

I already do this. What might be happening is that another package's script is running ldconfig before the new ld.so is moved into place. If this is the case, about the only thing I can do is to treat ldconfig similarly so other scripts will continue to use the old version until ld.so is ready.

Yes, I think this is the right solution. Don't forget to make the postinst idempotent. dpkg will not mind ld.so-new's absence when it next processes the package.

Many packages will run ldconfig in their prerm and postinst scripts. Perhaps those packages should be changed not to run ldconfig in the prerm if $1 is "upgrade" and to declare a dependency on ld.so so that their postinst scripts get un after ld.so's ?

Hmm, I tried a couple of things last night to reproduce this but couldn't get it to happen. What version of ld.so were you upgrading from?

It was 1.5.2, so that might have been the reason. Well this happen if somebody goes from 1.7.x to 1.8.x? If so, we still have a problem -- people will be confused by the many errors given before dpkg runs the ldso postinst.

Robinson" Package: ldso Version: 1.7.8 Revision: 2 If one installs ldso as part of a large [U]pdate, one will see many many many errors about incorrect version number. While the postinst warns about this, the user won't see this until the postinst is run, which may mean the user will see thousands of these error messages while dpkg works on other packages. This will probably worry new users. Is there a solution to this problem? The only one I could think of is a special flag that tells dpkg to run the postinst immediately.
