`set -ex' in your scripts (you can do the same in the debconf scripts). I further found an echo to stdout in your postinst. debconf cannot handle this very well [1] and it may lead to make the script fail. Echo to stderr instead. The same goes for any other output to stdout created by the commands in your postinst script. [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/10/msg00790.html Regards, Daniel -- NUR NOCH BIS 31.01.!
