It's invoking /usr/share/debconf/frontend, which at least for a debian system I'm glancing at, is a perl script, so of course the perl isn't going to honor 'set -x'. But if you mean that that perl reinvokes the original postinst shell script, I don't see how it could do so; how does it know which script to run? -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
