Hi,
Due to bash bug #23857, the installation of several daemon packages
will fail if `set -a' or `set -o allexport' has been used in the root
shell that executes dpkg.
Francesco Potorti` proposed to to make the pre- and post- installation
scripts set "+e" before executing a subscript.
Can this please be discussed here and perhaps made policy?
For the moment I'll implement it this way.
To reproduce this try:
set -a
set +a
dpkg -i .../sysklogd_1.3-26_i386.deb; echo $?
Regards,
Joey
