Packaging Problem (Is preinst really pre?)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I'm trying to create a package, that among other things, sets some
configuration information for other packages. The overall purpose is to
install this one package, which configures everything exactly how it
should be prior to installing other packages.
So, in the preinst for this package, I use db_set to set the debconf
variables for some packages, then expect the packages to be installed
(they are listed as Depends: in the control file), then make some manual
configuration changes in the postinst. So, my question is, is this the
proper way to be going about doing this? (I ask because the other
packages are prompting me for configuration prior to the preinst being
run, so it isn't working how I'd like it to). Thanks!
Daniel
