It's not really about non-interactive mode, that just happened to pinpoint the problem. The issue is that you're modifying a dpkg conffile (/etc/webfsd.conf) in your maintainer scripts. This is a violation of Debian policy 10.7.3 and explicitly listed in the 'Release Critical Issues for Squeeze' document at http://release.debian.org/squeeze/rc_policy.txt so #603926 (cc'd) is definitely RC. You might want to look at using ucf(1) to install the file instead of shipping it as a conffile. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
