I'm sorry if it was answered earlier, but I *really* couldn't find anything about it.
I have few packages that are installed as part of a larger system on Debian running on BeagleBone. These packages frequently (for some strange reason - I'm not the only developer) modify files that go to the /etc/rsyslog.d/ directory. These files are not part of configuration, they are copied there by hand in postinstall script from known source, reason being that which file is copied depends on external configuration. This works without major problems. What is problematic is that when these packages are upgraded, they are upgraded few at a time, sometimes two are upgraded, sometimes four, sometimes all of them. Because of this each package contains the following: systemctl restart rsyslog in its postinstall script. As this causes rsyslog to be restarted a few times in a row it sometimes results in rsyslog not functioning. Thus, my question: Is there a way to restart rsyslog only once, after all packages are installed? I hope for something similar to "dh $@ --with-systemd" in "rules" file (but "dh -l" does not show anything that looks like it should work). My guess is that it should possible to somehow combine "dh $@ --with-systemd" to achieve what I want, but I don't even know where should I start. If it is of any importance, I use "debuild" to build packages. Also if this is not the best list, would debian-apt or debian-dpkg be better? TIA, -- Jędrzej Dudkiewicz I really hate this damn machine, I wish that they would sell it. It never does just what I want, but only what I tell it.
