Yes it is (set -x), but I meant invoke-rc.d anyway, obviously. > So in my view the reason for a postinst failure is unrelated to > update-rc.d. Can you explain your reasoning? Simple separation of concerns, invoke-rc.d is responsible for running the init script and determining if it fails and propigating a failing exit status. debhelper allows it to do do. The right way to make 6 be ignored is to get invoke-rc.d to ignore it, not add cruft to every postinst that calls it. -- see shy jo
