I think the problem is that you ship /etc/default/debsecan as a dpkg conffile. When the package is preconfigured, the file doesn't exist yet and the debconf database is seeded. On install, the config script is run again just before the postinst (see debconf-devel(7)) but now the default configuration file has been unpacked, so the debconf settings are overwritten. As for the priority, Jörg seems to be using DEBIAN_PRIORITY=low or somesuch. -- Niko Tyni [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
