Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.22
Severity: minor
Hi,
I always wondered which scheme dpkg follows when installing packages and
writing the "Setting up ..." lines. Sometimes, empty lines are interspersed.
Looking into the code, the reason is in src/configure.c where a putchar('\n');
is done when maintainer_script_installed() returns != 0. Maybe someone wanted
to make sure that after execution of maintainer scripts, a proper CR is done?
On the other hand side, all the other invocations of
maintainer_script_installed() (including the "post-installation" ones like the
above one) don't handle it that way.
Removing the if(){} around the maintainer_script_installed() including the
putchar() seems to fix the issue.
Or did I miss something?
Thanks,
Roland
