Hi folks, debconf is driving me crazy. I am using debconf on a multi binary package to display a note. Its working fine in one package but not at all in the main package and I do not understand why. Installing the package (with DEBUG) gives me this:
Unpacking replacement moon-buggy ... Setting up moon-buggy (0.5.52-6) ... debconf (developer): frontend started debconf (developer): frontend running, package name is moon-buggy debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/moon-buggy.config configure 0.5.52-6 debconf (developer): <-- INPUT high moon-buggy/old_score_file debconf (developer): --> 10 "moon-buggy/old_score_file" doesn't exist debconf (developer): <-- GO debconf (developer): --> 0 ok debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/moon-buggy.postinst configure 0.5.52-6 But: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cache/debconf>grep old_score_file templates.dat Name: moon-buggy/old_score_file Owners: moon-buggy/old_score_file I can not spot the typo, or is the problem somewhere else? Another thing, how can I force debconf to display the note (its a note, not a question). When I reinstall the package the question(???) is skipped, but I want it to be displayed everytime. debconf (developer): <-- INPUT high moon-buggy-esd/old_score_file debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped debconf (developer): <-- GO debconf (developer): --> 0 ok Please somebody help before I get more and more bug reports of the same problem again and again...
