I work for a company that uses a specific java build - we are only allowed to download it from a specific internal site, that is authenticated. I have written a package that downloads and builds it into a deb (using make-jpkg + extra definitions) as part of the postinst script. I would like it to install the package too, however everything i have tried doesnt work
Obviously dpkg is locked, so tried forking a background bash process to wait for it to become unlocked and then install, but the postinst seems to wait for that to exit - so waits forever. Short of adding a cronjob that tries to install it, and deletes itself when done, can anyone think of any other ways I can have a deb marked for installation after apt/dpkg is done with the current operation? I have been unable to find anything built-in to dpkg that would let me add it to the list of files to install, but maybe it exists?
