Debconf and substitution in long description
Hi,
While debconfiscating :-) uptimed, I also added a note to uprecords-cgi
so that the sysadmin would be informed where the CGI would show up in his
webtree. In this note, I'd like to use substitution, but this apparently
doesn't work.
The templates file says:
Description: uprecords.cgi has been installed into the webtree
You have installed the uprecords-cgi package. That means that a new CGI
script has been installed, which is now visible to the outside world as
http://${hostname}/cgi-bin/uprecords.cgi ...
The config script has:
hostname=`hostname --fqdn`
db_subst 'uprecords-cgi/install_note' hostname $hostname
db_input medium 'uprecords-cgi/install_note' || true
While this may not be a really important place, I'd still like it to
work. Any ideas what might be wrong?
Simon
