I know how APT handles its error codes, the apache2 solution should work. Unfortunately, other bug investigations limit the time I could spend testing this. Could you perhaps help me test a dirty .deb package which includes better handling of install/upgrade file copying? If so, we should think of a channel in which I could upload said package. I'd love to align this package's handling of shipped files with apache2. > Best regards > > Alexander Foken > > Kind regards, Alexandru Mihail Maintainer
