Package: diald
Version: 0.99.4-5
Severity: normal
During the installation of 'diald', and after the debconf stuff was through
querying me about the various settings that it had asked for, I saw this, on
the stderr stream, during the package installation session:
Starting diald: fifo-created Quantifier follows nothing in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/+ <-- HERE pap/ at /usr/sbin/cvt-pppconfig line 86, <> line 8.
dpkg: error processing diald (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255
I'm not sure what to make of it. Fortunately, it seems as like a bug that
may not affect the operation of 'diald' (assuming that the "cvt" would be
short for "convert", and that I can configure the diald installation,
myself.)
By the by and by, the debconf diald package configuration stuff is still
appreciated by this user.
Glitches can happen in text-processing systems, I know.
