The relevant code from /var/lib/dpkg/info/portmap.postinst in versions 6.0-5.1 and 6.0-6 look like this:
if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then invoke-rc.d portmap start || exit $? else /etc/init.d/portmap start || exit $? fi The issue you are reporting should thus not happen if invoke-rc.d is available. What does that section in the postinst file look like for you? Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
