Hi, I got a strange problem in here - I am finishing (I hope ;-) ) making a package. Mostly everything works smoothly - I stumbled, however, across this strange problem: When I first install this package, postinst gets processed correctly (I have verified everything in there works, up to the final 'exit 0'). If the package was already installed in the system, dpkg does its work and finishes correctly. However, if the package was not previously installed, dpkg gets stuck somewhere. It is not looping (CPU usage remains at 0%), but it sits waiting for something to happen. If I interrupt it, of course:
Unpacking tutos-php (from tutos-php_1.0.20021113-1_all.deb) ... Setting up tutos-php (1.0.20021113-1) ... dpkg: error processing tutos-php (--install): subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt) Errors were encountered while processing: tutos-php The package stays in a failed-config state: # dpkg -l tutos-php Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ iF tutos-php 1.0.20021113-1 PHP-based tool to manage the organization of Now, if I install it again just afterwards, debconf asks me again the configuration questions, and it gets installed correctly. I am sure this problem happens after exiting debconf - but I cannot find the exact cause for this. Am I missing something obvious?
