--- Begin Message ---Package: lilo Version: 1:22.6.1-7+b1 Severity: serious File: /usr/sbin/update-lilo Hello, Due to changes in kernel-package 10.025 (details follows) update-lilo causes hang up during installation of latest kernel-image packages. >From changelog of kernel-package: * Bug fix: "[powerpc] k-p 10.00x breaks debconf based /etc/kernel/*.d scripts like mkvmlinuz", thanks to Sven Luther. Well. In the recent 10.X series, kernel package has started producing image packages whose maintainer scripts use debconf for user interaction. Unfortunately, this meant that any hook scripts called in the maintainer scripts for the image package (update-grub comes to mind), if they wrote anything at all to the STDOUT, would cause debconf to throw hissy fits, since it was expecting commands on STDOUT, not random chatter from the hook scripts. One solution was to call db_stop before calling the hook scripts, and redirecting stdout to stderr in hte invocation of the scripts. Unfortunately, this made any scripts that used debconf impossible. So, either we ban scripts that are interactive, or scripts that scribble on stdout. Since the former makes some functionality impossible (some scripts can deliver added functionality and flexibility if they can interact with users), and the latter just needs a code change, I would prefer to ask packages that provide scripts to be used in kernel image postinst/postrm to use debconf for user interaction, and to send diagnostics to STDERR.
