Package: dbconfig-common Version: 1.8.40 Severity: normal Hi,
My config script ask several questions (not only the database related onces). In my config script, I use the "db_capb backup" to allow the user to go back. One of my steps is to call dbc_go. However, if the user ask dbconfig-common to go back, the script is ended. The related part is in /usr/share/dbconfig-common/dpkg/config: ################# dbc_go(){ [...] if [ $STATE -lt 1 ]; then exit 10 fi done db_set $dbc_package/internal/skip-preseed true } ################# I suggest you change this part to something as (not tested): ################# dbc_go(){ [...] if [ $STATE -lt 1 ]; then if [ "$dbc_config_use_backup" ]; then return 30 fi exit 10 fi done db_set $dbc_package/internal/skip-preseed true } ################# If so, one can call dbc_go after setting up dbc_config_use_backup=1 in the package config script and test dbc_go for a return value of 30 (same as debconf) And, if dbc_config_use_backup is not set, the behaviour is the same as before.
