Hi folks, A package of mine installs an init script. But as the corresponding programs plays with the motherboard's chipset configuration, it is quite prone to break the system. So I chose not to install rc*.d symlinks by default.
To make life easier for users, i explain in a README file how to set up those links and how to remove them with apdate-rc.d. Hence, when a user is convinced this program does not break his system, he can easily set up the links for automatic startup. But a user felt concerned that, in the future, he may remove the package and forget to delete the links. Then I thought I could remove the links in postrm on purge, considering they are part of the package's configuration (their absence being the default configuration). I built the package, but lintian complains: E: athcool: postrm-contains-additional-updaterc.d-calls /etc/init.d/athcool N: N: The postrm de-registers an /etc/init.d script which has not been N: registered in the postinst script before. I lintian right here? Should I ignore this error? Any other suggestion to answer my user's concerns? Thanks in advance for any feedback, Nicolas
