I can try that, but the system has discs: root@ci-busyapps:~ # cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 254 0 67108864 vda 254 1 67106816 vda1 253 0 65105920 dm-0 253 1 1998848 dm-1 Yes, adding that option fixes it. Please make it the default; it’s not acceptable for a newly installed package to break during maintainer script operation (we learnt that the hard way in fusionforge, where the postinst needs the database but can’t error out if it is not running). bye, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg
