Subject: ucf: --verbose changes return code
Package: ucf
Version: 3.0025+nmu2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I was trying to debug a postinst script that calls ucf, and added '-v'
to the call. This caused the postinst script to fail!
Here's the snippet from my script (actually it is a shell script invoked
from the postinst):
echo "next call: ucf --debconf-ok $fmgrConfigReplaceCfgFile
$fmgrConfigReplaceOrigFile"
read foo
ucf -v --debconf-ok $fmgrConfigReplaceCfgFile $fmgrConfigReplaceOrigFile
(the script has "set -e") and here is the output
next call: ucf --debconf-ok /tmp/tctmp.5892/tfc5898/out/dvipdfmx.cfg
/tmp/tmp.GcaJK8EHbW/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg
foo
ucf: The new file is /tmp/tctmp.5892/tfc5898/out/dvipdfmx.cfg
ucf: The Destination file is /tmp/tmp.GcaJK8EHbW/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg
ucf: The Source directory is /tmp/tctmp.5892/tfc5898/out
ucf: The State directory is /var/lib/ucf
ucf: Replace the old file is true
The hash file exists
egrep [[:space:]]\/tmp\/tmp\.GcaJK8EHbW\/dvipdfmx\/dvipdfmx\.cfg$
/var/lib/ucf/hashfile
ucf: The new file is /tmp/tctmp.5892/tfc5898/out/dvipdfmx.cfg

ucf: The Source directory is /tmp/tctmp.5892/tfc5898/out
