--- Begin Message ---Package: joystick Version: 20051019-5 Hello, the new postinst fails if there is no joystick attached while package installation: Setting up joystick (20051019-7) ... Restoring joystick calibration: no joysticks available failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript joystick, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing joystick (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 This is due to the postinst code added by dh_installinit. I personally think it's quite common not to have a joystick attached all the time, thus working around init-script failures in the postinst script would be justifyable. A possible work-around could be the use of dh_installinit --error-handler=true which would just inhibit any init-script error. However, I'm not sure if using true as error-handler is legitimate w.r.t. the policy. Thanks for your work & regards Mario -- $ make fire Don't know how to make fire $ Why not? No match
