Hello Debian users,
Setting up a .deb package still doesn't work:
Scenario:
Config files go to /etc/X11/<package>/, and are accessed by
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<package>/config/... through symlinks.
The configfiles are introduced to dpkg as conffiles with the
pathes in the /etc tree, whereas the files are accessed through
symbolic links (Thanks Joey, the hint works!).
Problems:
The config files are installed through the symbolic links _before_
the etc-files are installed. dpkg reports on error on
this:
unable to create `etc/X11/xmcd/common.cfg': No such file or directory
Creating manually the directory /etc/X11/<package>/ works. Do I
have to do this by a preinst script?
dpkg --purge <package> does not remove the directory
/etc/X11/<package> nor does it delete /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<package>/config..
I thought listing the directory in the conffile section could work,
but doesn't.
Thanks for any hints -- Peter
