Why do you think? The FHS governs mainly the locations of files as far as I know and even our Debian policy does not mandate that I immediately start a server upon upgrading if it was not running before. To clarify, this flag-thingy is *only* used when installing or upgrading the packages.

That's the alternative.

Too bad :-( It's hard to believe that 5-6 people really had no server running although they believed they had. I wait 1-2 days more if somebody has a clue and then I revert to simply calling "invoke-rc.d mysql-server start" at the end of postscript by reenabling the debhelper scripts there. (BTW: Sean: I've just uploaded a new version of 4.0 but that did not contain any relevant changes it is just to test if the new dpatch system I used for svn-buildpackage works for the autobuilders) bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
