Hello all
I have problem with creating deb package. As i known debian/config is
called before the deb is unpacked, however my debian/config is called
during debian/postinst.
Since debian/config supposed to be run twice - my debian/postinst runs
with no param on second time, as a re sult - exit with error code 1.
Installation log:
