Package: vidalia Version: 0.1.15-1 Severity: normal Hi!
When I did execute "aptitude install vidalia" on a system where Tor was
not installed (and thus pulled as a Recommend), I was very suprised to
read that an existing Tor process was detected.
The issue comes from the "config" script, which unconditionally displays
"vidalia/info". Or debconf-devel(7) says:
The config script can be run in one of three ways:
1 If a package is pre-configured, with dpkg-preconfigure, its
config script is run, and is passed the parameters "configure",
and installed-version.
2 When a package's postinst is run, debconf will try to run
the config script then too, and it will be passed the same
parameters it was passed when it is pre-configured. This is
necessary because the package might not have been
pre-configured, and the config script still needs to get a
chance to run. See HACKS for details.
[…]
The way the "config" and "postinst" scripts are written only works in
the second case. Then wrongly telling me that a running Tor process has
been detected.
