[Bug 2049243] Re: [SRU] package timidity-daemon 2.14.0-8ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: installed timidity-daemon package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 5

[Sudip Mukherjee]

Hi Seiichi Nakashima,

The patch is to fix the "failed to install/upgrade" that you reported
originally. I have now created a ppa with this patch. Can you please
test the package from the ppa..

The instructions to add the ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sudipmuk/timidity
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install timidity

Note: This has a slightly different version than the version mentioned
in the patch, so that any stable release from jammy-updates will have
priority over the version from ppa.

Title:
  [SRU] package timidity-daemon 2.14.0-8ubuntu1 failed to
  install/upgrade: installed timidity-daemon package post-installation
  script subprocess returned error exit status 5

Status in timidity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in timidity source package in Jammy:
  Confirmed
Status in timidity package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  timidity-daemon is completely unusable as it will even fail to install
  with the following error:

  Failed to stop timidity.service: Unit timidity.service not loaded.
  invoke-rc.d: initscript timidity, action "stop" failed.
  dpkg: error processing package timidity-daemon (--configure):
   installed timidity-daemon package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 5

  [ Test Plan ]

  * Install timidity-daemon, it will fail to install if its not fixed.
  * With the fixed package, timidity-daemon will be installed

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Its only installing the init scripts links before trying to stop it.
  Since there is no change in code, so the chances of regression is very
  less.

  [ Other Info ]

   * It has been fixed in Debian by timidity/2.14.0-8.1.
