DEINSTALL script failed

[NasKar]

Just upgraded from 2.52 to 2.6 and got the error DEINSTALL script failed. Then it said the upgrade was successful. Do I need to be concerned?

That's just some clean up work of some temporary files ( using a temporary .pkgtemp directory ).
If they existed, they were deleted.
If they didn't exist, also no issue.

Btw : Next time you upgrade, use the command line, not the GUI.
I'll tell you up front : you will see many 'warning' and 'error' messages, and boatloads of PHP messages. Most, if not all, are 'normal'.

That's expected, harmless, and has been covered multiple times here in different threads.

It was a bug in the DEINSTALL script of the old kernel. It's fixed in the new kernel. But there isn't a way to fix that bug without hitting it at least once as it removes the old package during upgrade.

You won't see it on future upgrades on that system.
