Bug#580294: [Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#580294: nagios3: fails to install when partial (bad) configuration exists
I must say I disagree with Tollef's point of view. A broken configuration shouldn't prevent a package from installing.. sure, it will prevent the service from starting up, but that will most certainly be made visible at least with errors in log files. So I don't see the point of having a configuration error preventing installation completion. -- Gabriel Filion -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

]] mlarosa | Package fails to install when partial (bad) configuration exists - configuration | which causes nagios to error when the service commences. | | The package should complete installing even if the service doesn't start correctly. I disagree with this, it should make the breakage obvious and the best way to do that is to abort the installation. This is how most other daemons seem to work as well. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The package should complete installing even if the service doesn't start correctly. I guess the package bails out when it trys to start nagios in postinst?

I thought so, I'll add an error handler which yields the failure into a warning. Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
