Package: qpsmtpd Version: 0.30-1 This is a premptive bug filing by the package maintainer, for anyone who encounters the issue. v0.30-1 of the qpsmtpd package will emit an error much like this one when installed via APT:
Preconfiguring packages ... mktemp: cannot create temp file /etc/qpsmtpd/.tmp.debconf-settings.2135.F015oe: No such file or directory qpsmtpd failed to preconfigure, with exit status 1 This was induced by a discrepancy in my testing (I tested the debconf setup with dpkg but not with APT, and they handle package configuration slightly differently.) It will be fixed in 0.30-2, which is prepared but has not been uploaded (as of this writing, ftp-master was down.) Anyone wishing to try out the new packages can find them at <http://devin.com/debian/>. The error is mostly harmless; to compensate for it, after installing qpsmtpd with APT, run 'dpkg-reconfigure qpsmtpd' and configure normally. You can also avoid the issue by downloading the deb and installing it directly with dpkg. -- Devin \ aqua(at)devin.com, IRC:Requiem; http://www.devin.com Carraway \ 1024D/E9ABFCD2: 13E7 199E DD1E 65F0 8905 2E43 5395 CA0D E9AB FCD2
