So I dist-upgrade, and it upgrades 12 packages. Your postinst runs before any of the other 11. The computer reboots immediately in your postinst. When do the other 11 postinst's run? Besides the philosophical problems with rebooting without permission, the administrator action that you're trying to avoid will be necessary *anyway* when he has to apt-get -f install or dpkg --configure -a the other 11 packages. -Ken Bloom -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
