I don't like putting too much effort into solving this bug, then. Keeping the code relatively sane to avoid bugs hitting users of stable Debian releases is much more important than handling bugs hitting only those (possibly many) choosing to live on the edge and running testing releases. Especially when the workaround is simply to try installing again. > Humm... Maybe the update-inetd should not be run if > /var/cache/ipopd_inetd.conf_copy exists. I may have lost you (my mind is at several places simultanously - quite annoying actually, but not your fault), but the bug in -6.1 causes _wrong_ info in the cache file. Can't see how you will sanely handle that situation (without special code for that single release). As I understand it, it should always be safe to do update-inetd (or if not, we can't trust our own knowledge of the world, and then we should fail rather than go silent about it!). > How about the attached diff that against -8?

I appreciate your efforts, but please if you want to help improve the code then have a close look at my work-in-progress on -9 (the file "___PKG__.postinst.in" - also see if you can spot errors in my changed code!): http://debian.jones.dk/auryn/pool/official/uw-imap/debian-test/ - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCSVCEn7DbMsAkQLgRAjL0AJsEIGjspnw+Z8349omzc5cakaB0cwCfWHkb pme5NuGoCFhxDPJ98w5T+fY= =RPZx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
