db_get mailman/gate_news || true
if [ "$RET" = "no" ]; then
# Comment out any lines containing the words "gate_news"
awk '/^[^#]*gate_news/ { print "# " $LINE;next }; //' <
/etc/cron.d/mailman > /etc/cron.d/mailman.$$
else
# Remove commenting of any lines containing gate_news
awk '/^[ \t]*#.*gate_news/ { sub(/^[ \t]*#[ \t]*/, ""); print; next };
//' < /etc/cron.d/mailman > /etc/cron.d/mailman.$$
fi
is what I use in mailman for commenting and uncommenting lines in the
postinst. It seems to work, but kinda sucks.
(If anybody feels like reviewing the debconf usage in mailman, feel
free. :)
