DEINSTALL script failed
-
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.
