Package: nbd-client
Version: 1:2.8.7-4
Severity: important
I think I've understood why I hit #415434 : no /etc/nbd-client was
created when I installed the package, whereas the debconf data seems
ok (see below). Digging into the postinst script, which is running in
bash "set -e" mode, I found :
[ -e /etc/nbd-client ] && . /etc/nbd-client && CFTMPL=/etc/nbd-client
Since on first install, /etc/nbd-client does not exist, this command
fails and causes the whole postinst script to abort, thanks to
"set -e", never generating any config file. I have to say I don't
really know anything to maintainer scripts, thus all this might be
totally wrong.
I've then built a package removing the "set -e" and it worked : the
installation process generated a /etc/nbd-client file. Since "set -e"
is a recommended setting in maintainer scripts iirc, I hacked postinst
a bit more to have it work also with "set -e". Here is the interdiff :
