Description Dirk Wiesenthal

2013-05-02 11:44:03 CEST

I installed an app and configuring a dependent package failed:

dpkg -l "$package"
iU  $package

So the package is unpacked but not installed.

But the PackageManager regards it as installed and the App Center thinks the App is working. The reason is that the high-level check package.is_installed() does not check the state enough. The correct way I found: package._pkg.current_state == apt_pkg.CURSTATE_INSTALLED. Same probably holds for uninstalled: Better check for apt_pkg.CURSTATE_NOT_INSTALLED.
