Hi Trent,
Strange, it works fine here. It should be doing exactly what you
suggest - /usr/sbin should have command libgvc5-config-update installed,
which is actually a copy of dot, and it should run
"libgvc5-config-update -c" in libgvc5.postinst.
The only change I've made to this file recently is to remove the
absolute path from the command (i.e. it used to say
"/usr/sbin/libgvc5-config-update -c"). This was because lintian was
complaining about it and since /usr/sbin should be in root's path, I
decided to appease it.
Is it possible that /usr/sbin isn't on root's path on your machine?
Cheers,
David.
