Hi, I am currently preparing a package that needs to establish a pre-loaded library via /etc/ld.so.preload, and I'd like to discuss ways to do this in a non-destructive way without breaking the system.
This is what I think of: configure: - ask user via debconf if she wants to have the library installed to /etc/ld.so.preload. postinst: - if user allowed us to install: grep ^$LIBRARY /etc/ld.so.preload > /dev/null 2>&1 || cat $LIBRARY >> /etc/ld.so.preload prerm: grep -v ^$LIBRARY /etc/ld.so.preload > /etc/ld.so.preload.new && mv /etc/ld.so.preload.new /etc/ld.so.preload. Do I have to take extra special precautions? Or is there even a package available that I could steal debconf code from? Any hints will be appreciated.
