Package: debhelper Version: 5.0.35 Severity: wishlist dh_installinfo presently adds to postinst: |if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then | install-info --quiet --section "\QUtilities\E" "Utilities" /usr/share/info/gzip.info |fi
and to prerm: |if [ "$1" = remove ] || [ "$1" = upgrade ]; then | install-info --quiet --remove /usr/share/info/gzip.info |fi It is my understanding that debhelper deregisters info documents during prerm remove to avoid needing package-specific knowledge of when new/old documents are added/removed. If so, I guess prerm "deconfigure" should also degregister said documents, and I would suggest to consider it for "failed-upgrade", too (unless you're deliberately not doing it as a simpler thing to try..). Then, postinst abort-[remove|upgrade|deconfigure] should all reregister them as the rollback action. The postinst script rarely needs to check its arguments; if the arguments are checked, the idempotency requirements pretty much guarantee it to be safe to do the same thing for all of "configure", "abort-deconfigure", "abort-remove" and "abort-upgrade". In this case, prerm can also abstaing from checking its arguments. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
