Package: mydns-mysql
Version: 1:1.1.0-7etch1
Severity: grave
I installed the package and ignored the asked configuration questions as I
wanted to enter them into the configuration file by hand.
Because the default information is invalid, the package fails to install.
To provide the correct information I tried to purge the package and to
reinstall it (dpkg-reconfigure did not work as the package has not been
correctly installed).
When running dpkg --purge mydns-mysql, the script hangs. I added a set -exv to
the postrm script and it gave the following output:
....+ IFS='

+ read -r _db_internal_line
+ RET=mydns
