This should be sufficient as long as you run update-menus in the postinst which is the case. Cheers, -- Bill.

Well, this fix is just in unstable. The problem is the correct exit code. If the conf file is missing because of the trigger running at the wrong time (IMHO), the exit code 0 is correct. In any other circumstance something else than 0 should be returned. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

AFAICT from the documentation the dpkg triggers work as intended, although maybe not as desired by you ;) File triggers are activated on creation or modification of the triggering file by dpkg, so during unpack or removal. A possible solution might be to change your menu file script to ignore the missing conffile and activate the trigger again manually in your postinst with dpkg-trigger.

Bug#484167: cdd-common: missing directory when installing
'df' shows lots of free space. Also, the directory and file (/etc/cdd/cdd.conf) does exist after installation. I don't understand why the error message occurs. Could it be because /usr/share/menu/cdd-menu is before /etc/cdd/cdd.conf in the file list? Here is something else I tried which shows the error occurs during the unpack phase, even if unpacking twice in a row. purge package then # dpkg --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/cdd-common_0.5.1_all.deb Selecting previously deselected package cdd-common.
