Subject: mount: upgrade fails if nfs-common is in removed but not purged

Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2007 18:06:17 +0300

Package: mount
Version: 2.13-3
Severity: normal

"apt-get dist-upgrade" in my unstable chroot fails with

 "You have NFS mount points currently mounted, and this version of mount
  requires that nfs-common be upgraded before NFS mounts will work."

I use NFS outside the chroot but nfs-common is not installed inside
the chroot. The problem goes away if I purge nfs-common. It seems that
the preinst script sees /var/lib/dpkg/info/nfs-common.list and thinks
that nfs-common is installed when it in fact is not?
