In which circumstances such an error can occur? It is strange, I would
have expected that debconf takes the default as given in the template if
nothing was present.
I am out of my understanding:
In config at the core, lets see:
db_get tex-common/managecache || true
if [ "$RET" = true ]; then
db_input low tex-common/groupname || true
db_go
fi
and in postinst:
db_get tex-common/managecache || true
if [ $RET = true ] ; then
db_get tex-common/groupname || true
GROUP="$RET"
if [ -n "$GROUP" ] ; then
...
So it seems that the call to
db_get tex-common/groupname || true
returned something really strange, although I have no Idea how this
could happen.
Anyone any idea how to debug this?
Best wishes
Norbert
