Debconf problems
Hi,
I want to add a simple debconf-note to one of my packages, but I have two
problems:
1. The note isn't displayed during the installation of the package. I have
chosen priority medium. debconf is configured to display even low priority
and display the questions again and again, but my note isn't displayed. Is
that normal? If I do a dpkg-reconfigure the note is displayed correctly. The
same behaviour I have noticed by other packages using notes (i.e.
bsdmainutils)
2. lintian says my package has errors:
E: apl: unknown-control-file config
E: apl: unknown-control-file templates
I have checked other packages using debconf (ssh, bsdmainutils) and they are
also producing these errors. Was there a change in the policy recently?
Here are my config and templates files to be sure to have them correct
config:
#!/bin/sh -e
. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
db_version 2.0
db_text medium apl/notice || true
db_go
exit 0
templates:
Template: apl/notice
Type: note
Description: NOTE: Additional configuration needed.
To enable/disable APL support in Apache and PHP you need to make some
additional settings. See /usr/share/doc/apl/README.Debian for more
details.
