In an Emdebian Grip chroot (with the current workaround replacement install-info script renamed): # dpkg --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/coreutils_6.10-6em1_amd64.deb ; echo $? (Reading database ... 5726 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace coreutils 6.10-6em1 (using .../coreutils_6.10-6em1_amd64.deb) ... /usr/bin/ginstall-info --quiet --remove /usr/share/info/coreutils.info Unpacking replacement coreutils ... 0 # dpkg --configure coreutils ; echo $? Setting up coreutils (6.10-6em1) ... /usr/bin/ginstall-info --quiet /usr/share/info/coreutils.info 0 My only concern is this: # /usr/bin/ginstall-info --quiet /usr/share/info/coreutils.info ; echo $? install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information. 1 and this: # /usr/bin/ginstall-info --info-dir=/usr/share/info --quiet /usr/share/info/coreutils.info ; echo $? install-info: No such file or directory for /usr/share/info/coreutils.info 1 (The reason I'm CC'd in all of this is because of #518737 dpkg: install-info should still exit zero if info document is not found) I can adapt the Emdebian Grip processes to remove the trigger file from packages like coreutils when the info document is removed, so if the intention is that the postinst will become a no-op - merely echoing the command - then this seems OK for what I need. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
