Hi, your bug number came up on irc and did lead to some discussion.
In conclusion there are a two things: 1.) you are abusing debconf 23:57 < doogie> data: Debian.News 23:57 < doogie> or some such 23:57 < doogie> do not do upgrades notices with debconf 23:57 < doogie> deb(ian) conf(iguration) If the user has no option to abort the upgrade then that notice should not be done this way. If it gives an abort option it must be in preinst (and pre-depend on debconf). 2.) no template There seems to be no text for the upgrade notice in the source or debs: sqlite3-3.2.2% ls debian/libsqlite3-0/DEBIAN control md5sums postinst* postrm* preinst* shlibs Installing libsqlite3-0 and simulating an upgrade just fails silently without any notice: sqlite3-3.2.2% sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/libsqlite3-0.postinst upgrade 1.2.3 sqlite3-3.2.2% echo $? 10 MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
