Hello
I'm too stupid to find that bug: my snort package calls:
# Automatically added by dh_installdebconf
if [ "$1" = purge -a -e /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ]; then
. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
db_purge
fi
# End automatically added section
At the very end of the script. Now this confmodule does the following:
Check to see if a FrontEnd is running.
f [ ! "$DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND" ]; then
# Ok, this is pretty crazy. Since there is no FrontEnd, this
# program execs a FrontEnd. It will then run a new copy of $0
that
# can talk to it.
exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend $0 $*
fi
++ '[' '!' '' ']'
++ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/snort.postrm
purge
# summary of how this script can be called:
# * <postrm> `remove'
# * <postrm> `purge'
As you can see, this frontend calls my postrm *again* which leads to an
error because I do things there I cannot do twice!
(e.g. removing a user)
Any ideas?
bye,
-christian-
