Hi ! I'd like to display a debconf note if a specific command executed in my postinst fails, but I just don't see how to set it up. Putting the note in the config script will have it displayed at preconfigure time, which really isn't an option, and putting specific db_input in my postinst make lintian unhappy. I'd really like to find a way to workaround the problem, but it's not that easy. In fact, I have to create a user in my postinst. But adduser can fail (e.g. if the host is using NIS or LDAP), and I'd like to warn the user he has to add the user himself in this case. Is there a way to communicate between the config script and the postinst ? Or any other way to deal with my problem ? I've searched debconf examples, documentation, and manpages, including debconf-devel, without success. Thanks for any remark / answer -- Emmanuel le Chevoir - manu42@free.fr
