Package: ircii Version: 20030315-1 Followup-For: Bug #109996
This is a most annoying bug.. It really does break all automated installs. Here is a simple patch to just use the damn default "irc.debian.org" and be done with it. ircII is most likely a silently abandoned package, so this should be NMU:d asap, and make it use debconf after sarge. --- /var/lib/dpkg/info/ircii.postinst 2003-04-21 21:30:49.000000000 +0300 +++ ircii.postinst 2005-05-25 13:11:31.000000000 +0300 @@ -29,24 +29,7 @@ mv /usr/lib/irc/ircII.servers /etc/irc/servers else if [ ! -f /etc/irc/servers ]; then - touch /etc/irc/servers - echo -n "Please enter the address of your IRC server in the " - echo "following format." - echo - echo -n "hostname:portnum:password (with the portnum and " - echo "password being optional)." - echo - echo "Please be carefull to pick a server close to you." - echo "The servers will be stored into /etc/irc/servers" - echo - echo "Default is irc.debian.org." - echo -n "> " - read TMP - if [ ! -z $TMP ]; then - cat >> /etc/irc/servers << END1 -$TMP -END1 - fi + echo "Using the default server irc.debian.org.
