Package: lilo
Version: 1:22.6.1-7+b1
Severity: serious
File: /usr/sbin/update-lilo
Hello,
Due to changes in kernel-package 10.025 (details follows) update-lilo causes
hang up during installation of latest kernel-image packages.
>From changelog of kernel-package:
* Bug fix: "[powerpc] k-p 10.00x breaks debconf based /etc/kernel/*.d
scripts like mkvmlinuz", thanks to Sven Luther. Well. In the recent
10.X series, kernel package has started producing image packages whose
maintainer scripts use debconf for user interaction. Unfortunately,
this meant that any hook scripts called in the maintainer scripts for
the image package (update-grub comes to mind), if they wrote anything
at all to the STDOUT, would cause debconf to throw hissy fits, since
it was expecting commands on STDOUT, not random chatter from the hook
scripts.
One solution was to call db_stop before calling the hook scripts, and
redirecting stdout to stderr in hte invocation of the
scripts. Unfortunately, this made any scripts that used debconf
impossible.
So, either we ban scripts that are interactive, or scripts that
scribble on stdout. Since the former makes some functionality
impossible (some scripts can deliver added functionality and
flexibility if they can interact with users), and the latter just
needs a code change, I would prefer to ask packages that provide
scripts to be used in kernel image postinst/postrm to use debconf for
user interaction, and to send diagnostics to STDERR.
Regards
Artur
