Bug#555469: libc6 postinst calls invoke-rc.d with bogus "-query" argument
Package: libc6
Version: 2.10.1-6
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
The libc6 postinst calls invoke-rc.d with the argument "-query" which,
given the code around it was probably intended to be "--query". However,
that will cause the postinst to abort since -e is in effect on the shell.
The following patch fixes it so that it does what I think was intended:
