[Federico 'Derfel' Stella] > dpkg-reconfigure gpm doesn't work with read-only /usr:
Is it expected to? I see a lot of packages call install-info in their postinst scripts - presumably all these would have exactly the same bug, yes? Was this a mass bug filing? I guess it's philosophical: whether or not dpkg-reconfigure should skip such things as install-info on the theory that this won't normally be in need of repair. There's an argument to be made for that, to be sure, but I haven't heard it before. Can you point me to an example of a package that changes /usr in its postinst but only if not run via dpkg-reconfigure? Thanks for the report, Peter
